Gasly suffered with "snowball effect" at Austrian Grand Prix

Red Bull Racing driver Pierre Gasly admitted he suffered with a "snowball effect" at the Austrian Grand Prix, with the Frenchman only managing P7 at his team's home race.

Gasly made a mistake in Q3 and was left down in P8 at the start of the race. Team-mate Max Verstappen suffered with a slow start and was battling with his colleague in the opening lap - before eventually going onto win the race.

However, Gasly was left all the way back in P7 in effectively the same car as his team-mate.

"I struggled with the traffic at the beginning and spent quite a lot of time there," Gasly said. "It kinda was a snowball effect with the time we spent behind, the hotter everything gets and just struggled with that, struggled to get past Kimi (Raikkonen) and the cars around.
