Gasly stability leading to "best level" of performance

Pierre Gasly has stressed the importance of stability in allowing him to perform at his "best level" so far this season.

After joining the list of F1 winners at last year's Italian Grand Prix, Gasly has impressed with his form for AlphaTauri this term and sits eighth in the drivers' standings ahead of McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo.

His performances have caught the eye of former champion Nico Rosberg who suggested the Frenchman should return to Red Bull in 2022.

Gasly has put his strong showing down to a second full term with the same team backing him.

"I've never really had any stability," the 25-year-old told GPFans Global.

"I've always, from one year to another, been going up and down. That's also one of the reasons this year that, I think, I'm performing probably at my best level.

"It's the first time that I'm doing a full second season with the same team. I know the people, I know the team, I know everybody working for this team.

"I think we've got a great relationship and a great understanding of who needs what, and how to really extract the maximum from everyone on the team.

"Now, I'm really pleased with the way we're working. I feel like we can really maximise the car. We have the potential. Obviously, you always want more and want to be fighting for an even better position.

"But, objectively, we are in the best position this team has ever been from the last 15 years. I think that's positive momentum and the dynamic we have is the right one."
