“I think it was important for Pierre to have a s🐻trong race, he did that,” Horner said.
“I thought some of🍒 his overtakings, particularly on Perez which I don’t think went on the main screen, were very impressive. His pace in clear air, particularly in the second half of the race, was strong so I think he would’ve taken a lot of confidence out of that.
“I think once he starts qualifying further up the grid then life will get a lot easier for him. 🎀;
“Today will have been a good boost of confidence for him,” Horner added. “He’s raced competitively, raced hard, he’s had to overtake quite a few cars and you know, being competitive particularly in the second half of the ra🎶ce.
“I ꦓthink he can take a lot out of this weekend and you know carry that into future races.”
Gasly admitted to struggling with an “unpredictable” RB15 during qualifying, which he said had prevented him from 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:driving in the w♉ay he would like t💫o.
“It was 🌞quite a difficult race and I’m still not completely comfortable with the car,” Gasly explained ไfollowing the race.
“As soon as I try to push, I struggle a lot with the rear and the traction. For sure, I need to see what I can impro൲ve to get the maximum out of the car and work with the engineers to see what we can do to make me feel more confident, because at the moment I feel I cannot really push.
“I need to make an effort and adapt, because each car is different, and I will work with the team to find a set-up wh🤡ich♏ fits my driving style better.”
Asked about Gasly’s car struggles, Horner re♔plied: “I think the car - it’s a tricky car at the moment. Our operating window looks quite n𓆏arrow.
“I think Max has coped with that extremely🌌 well and I think🐠 obviously it’s been harder for Pierre. But that will come I’m sure.”
