Gasly knows where gap to Verstappen comes from
Pierre Gasly is confident that he knows why he has lacked so much time to Red Bull team-mate Max Verstappen across the first three races of the 2019 Formula 1 season. Gasly has struggled to tame the RB15 so far, something he puts down to an aggressive driving style.
The Frenchman was selected as Red Bull's replacement for Daniel Ricciardo after his shock move to Renault, but Gasly has failed to impress so far.
Gasly failed to score a point on his Red Bull debut after finding the Toro Rosso of Daniil Kvyat too tough to pass, and has finished eighth and sixth in Bahrain and China respectively, although securing an extra point in Shanghai by setting the fastest lap.
By contrast, Verstappen was on the podium in Melbourne and mixed it with Sebastian Vettel before settling for fourth in China. The Dutchman has qualified on average 1.1 seconds ahead of his team-mate this year.
In matching machinery, cornering style will be the crucial difference between them, with Gasly aware of exactly where the difference lies.
"It's not so much turn-in," he said. "Most of the time it's mainly exits, just putting the power down.
