Pierre Gasly has admitted that he is not yet happy at Red Bull. The Frenchman moved from Toro Rosso and has said that his old car was easier and more comfortable to drive. Gasly has struggled to perform so far this season but will be hoping to get some solid points this weekend in China. Pressure is building on him and this is something that he is aware of.
"It's not I don't think so much [about being] under pressure, but a bit stressed,” he said to GPFans.
"I think at this level in racing everybody [has] crashed their car - whether it's in testing, whether it's in the race.
"When you push these cars to the limit and with the speed, we're going at, at the moment, these things happen.
"I know this wasn't the first one, it's not going to be the last one, unfortunately.

"But no, for sure [it] wasn't the smoothest testing, and then it was important to get a clean weekend, especially as I said it's mainly the tricky feeling in the car that I can't really do exactly what I want, that makes it a bit difficult for me at the moment and that's the main thing we need to focus and work on.
"But no, I just feel relaxed. Of course, I'm a really competitive guy and when I don't get the result I want, makes it annoying and it's not nice, but gives me even more anger to do well and work and push on my side to make everything better."
"It's faster, but for sure at the moment I don't feel as comfortable as I was in [the] Toro Rosso.”
Gasly will be looking to impress this weekend to end the talk around him not being up to scratch.
