With the Frenchman’s performance so far, there is no doubt that the fast car he longs for will soon be given to him.
Pierre Gasly in the second row
Gasly achieved his best qualifying result at Zandvoort. The last time he started P4 was in Baku this season; a race that put him on the podium. This is also the second season in a row that Pierre Sergio Perez ‘has overtaken Red Bull.
