In the recent history of Formula 1, in numerous circumstances doubts have arisen about the real potential of the drivers who occupy the noble areas of the classification, who would be there mainly for the technical qualities expressed by their cars. When asked who, between car and driver, therefore makes the difference in the Circus, the Frenchman Pierre Gasly has very few doubts: the standard bearer of the AlphaTauri, returning from an excellent 2021 closed with the record number of 110 points, believes that he is the single-seater to reserve i main merits of a certain result, regardless of the talent of the driver who brings it to the track.
A thought also highlighted by an example reported by the 26-year-old during the transalpine transmission Mashupduring which the number 10 bothered the seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton: “Unfortunately in our sport – has explained – the car does most of the result. Even though Lewis is the best driver in F1 history today, with a Williams or a Haas, he would finish last. He wouldn’t even finish third or fifth, he would be 18th or 16th “.
In addition, during the long interview granted to the TV show, Gasly has placed all his hopes for the next championship, in which he wants to reach the goal of finishing regularly in the top 5: “I will try to build the results on the basis of the very good performances of 2021 – he added – And I hope really think this is a year where I can fight for the top. Last year we came very close to fifth in the constructors’ standings, and it would be great to replicate this placement again this year. It is too early to say if it will be possible, but I will always do my best to get the most out of our car ”.
