Pierre Gasly thinks he is ready to return to Red Bull Racing. The AlphaTauri driver hopes that his strong performance will also be rewarded, although according to him, now is not the time to talk about it.
"I think I’m ready but as I said, it’s not up to me to make that call," said Gasly in the FIA press conference. The Frenchman is not putting his energy into it. "The only thing I’ve done since they moved me back to Toro Rosso has been just to focus on myself and just show what I can do."
In the RB15 last season Gasly didn't manage to impress in the first half of the season, but since returning to Red Bull's sister team everything seems to be falling into place for the 24-year-old driver. "When I get the right tools in my hand I’m really happy that the performance we’ve shown – and I’m not only talking about Brazil but I think generally, we’ve been pretty strong most of the time."
Gasly is hoping for a reward
Secretly he will hope to become Max Verstappen's teammate again, but Gasly doesn't say that out loud. "Obviously I guess the strong results should be rewarded with something but we will see what happens. At the moment it’s not something I really want to think about. I just want to enjoy this moment, because it’s my first win in F1 and I will have time to think about this later."
