I can’t wait to drive to Texas and hit the track.”
Pierre Gasly: “I spent a whole day in Enstone on the simulator to prepare for the next GPs, as well as doing some physical training to be ready for Austin, Mexico City and Brazil. Austin is a good track and my goal is the points on both days, given that it is a weekend with the Sprint.”
