Gasly puts his finger on the problem: 'It was shocking and disappointing'

Pierre Gasly started the Qatar Grand Prix hopeful, but had to settle for a place outside the points. The Frenchman analysed the problem with his team and is now looking to Saudi Arabia with confidence.

Although Gasly was still disappointed with the performance after the Qatar GP, he was able to relax and analyse prior to the race weekend in Saudi Arabia. "It was pretty shocking and disappointing after our best Saturday of the year, but we had signs on Friday already that our long runs were not so good," the driver assessed in conversation with Motorsport.com.

The Italian racing team is hoping to secure fifth place in the Constructors' Championship at the end of the season. AlphaTauri is currently 25 points behind Alpine, but with two races to go a lot can still happen.
