The Toro Rosso drivers insist there are no tensions between the two of them after their near miss this weekend. The duo nearly crashed into each other at high speed during qualifying, which could have turned out to be nasty.
Gasly looked back on the near-miss suggesting it could have ended catastrophically but remains to keep the blame off team-mate Hartley.
“After China, it was all fine. Even now, I’m not going to blame him,” said Gasly.
“I understand that in his position, he had so many things to do and to deal with. But I just think it arrived in a really bad place where the speed is really high.”
Hartley, the New Zealander who picked up his first F1 points in the race, seemed relaxed about the issue now that it was all over.
“He completely understood the situation. There were no hard feelings,” said Hartley.
“I was going slow and trying to work out what was wrong with my car and I didn’t see him coming. He knows there were no intentions.”
This pairing did a lot better than their big brothers who whipped each other out in the race!
