Pierre Gasly will not be returning to Red Bull at least not under normal circumstances, let’s talk about that now. Hello friend of Ressaca Formula 1, welcome to another video I am Matheus Pucci and in an article on The Race portal, Christian Horner ended up talking about how the red bull sees Gasly’s situation and why not bring him back. Portal separated here some excerpts that I told you about and that it is very interesting for us to understand every circumstance the situation of the young French driver who has had good performances, has even achieved a victory this year and has been consistently very good there in the middle of platoon, Gasly scored eighty -two percent of Alpha tauri points this season just to give you an idea he had a certain mugello problem on the opening lap, but other than that the races have been very good both in qualy and in racing, speaking after Friday’s training in Portugal Cristian Horner who is the director of the Red Bull team explicitly ruled out the possibility of Gasly becoming a partner of Max verstappen at Red Bull he said no when asked if any driver currently within the program of Red Bull was a competitor, he was a candidate for vacancy in case Albon left the team, something that should happen but soon after Gasly was confirmed at Alpha uri for 2021, it is clear that when we look at his performance the Horner´s no are a bit strange Gasly had excellent runs as I said before but we must remember that he had a difficult first semester in 2019 when he was a Verstappen companion, the campaign gasoline season was weak an average of half a second slower than Verstappen in qualifying, a few hundredths faster than the Albon average in the same period and still with the best fourth place finish Gasly had last year so this average that the portal does it is interesting if we look that he was half a second slower than Verstappen and still a little faster than Albon in which we have a stark difference and then why does Albon continue? When he was knocked out of Red Bull, when he was demoted, the team itself and left the door open for a possible return of the Frenchman and his performance since then has been absolutely excellent especially when compared to teammate Daniil Kvyat, Horner spoke the next, “obviously we have a lot of information about the pilots over a long period of time, Pierre did a super job today - in this case he was referring to the weekend in Portugal - he is riding very well in this environment of Alpha Tauri he is comfortable in that car with perhaps less pressure and less expectation. Obviously your aspirations as a team are different than it was with Toro Rosso, so it makes sense that the adjustment works well in both directions with Pierre and the Alpha Tauri team “. I particularly didn’t understand very well this line by Christian Horner about because the aspirations are different so it works well, it makes sense to work well this Alpha tauri and Pierre Gasly pair, remembering that the alpha tauri as reported even here in the Formula 1 hangover must become a team that fights further ahead in the coming years because Red Bull’s planning is this, it’s putting Alpha tauri higher there together with Red Bull in a few years so Pierre Gasly in quotes would be a leader of this team according with the Red Bull Summit.
It is worth remembering that despite the good result of Gasly in Alpha tauri, 03:58 - the problem of Red Bull is still repeated in the sister team, for example Red Bull has to find a partner at the level of Gasly for Alfa Tauri or the problem is repeated and with that putting the two drivers on Red Bull would actually open up two problems for Alpha tauri, is it complicated? Is it complex? Yes, it is quite complex but apparently they prefer to have a problem with each car. As Horner and Helmut Marko have already said if the red bull gets into a position to fight for the title in 2021 although the car will be basically the same as in 2020 they desperately need a partner for Verstappen at the height as if it were a Valtteri Bottas so to speak. Last year in the race for Gasly for Red Bull, the last of which was in Hungary, Gasly did not help Verstappen in the strategy that could have taken Hamilton’s victory and given it to Verstappen. We remember for example that Hamilton was able to make several laps with his soft tires , new tires and with that he can then reach Verstappen and overtake towards the end of the race if Gasly were there, he would be in a position to at least face Hamilton to make Hamilton lose time, wearing Verstappen tires could win that race, Gasly couldn’t be that partner in the first semester 2019 and Albon apparently this year isn’t succeeding either, except that Gasly has clearly improved since then, the fact that Horner points out that the pressure level is different between the teams is quite revealing and gives hints of what may be happening Gasly’s approach at Red Bull wasn’t popular according to the story, he was considered very obsessed with little details like a specific setting for specific corners but he didn’t compromise with the whole lap and with that he lost performance, time, it’s not because he’s right at Alpha tauri that this kind of situation doesn’t necessarily happen anymore, Horner still says, “you have to look at all the options and I don’t think we’re doing our job if we don’t look at the situation with formula 1, obviously there are drivers who have significant experience and skills that could be available but our priority is to give Alex the opportunity to claim this place, let’s not forget when he jumped last year, he significantly surpassed Pierre on the 2019 balance sheet so if we were to exchange them back why would it be any different? “ This question is very interesting, why would it be any different? Why take chances with what you tried once and it didn’t work? It certainly generates a certain fear of putting Gasly and having the same situation, it is interesting because Horner himself talks about the car, the Red Bull car being more difficult than the alpha tauri car, Gasly said that the cars are similar, quite similar but Horner disagrees and he says, “I think the car is a harder car to drive than the Alpha tauri, we know that, it is very, very clear I think the car is much more sensitive backwards or in the rear as you want to say I think this can be irritating for the riders, Max handles this incredibly well, other riders have been struggling with it more, I think it’s the facts, if Alex were an Alpha tauri he would probably be doing a job very similar as we have seen in the past as Pierre’s I have no doubt about it so they are just the characteristics of our car “, as well with him he does not seem to believe that Gasly would then be able to adapt to this Red Bull car and that he would not c we would be able to deliver what is expected of a second driver, we can even remember Mattia Binotto talking about Vettel that he expects more from his second driver so the teams need this guy who will deliver the points but will not bother the first driver I I also spoke recently in a video published even yesterday that Toto Wolff does not want, for example, to have Verstappen together with Hamilton because the environment would not be nice, they want a driver who does not attack the first driver and who leaves the team’s environment all calm so teams end up not wanting two Alfa drivers in the same car. Well, this situation of Gasly, I really hope that Red Bull complies with what it said that Alpha tauri will become a team that will fight ahead in the coming years and with that Gasly would be able to show service nonetheless maybe for Gasly’s career it’s good that he doesn’t go to Red Bull because with that he can do something like Sainz did, leave the red bull driver program and with that grow in his career and show service, let’s keep an eye on what the Frenchman will make his career, do not forget to leave your like, subscribe to the channel and activate the bell, a big hug, thanks and spoke. .
