Pierre Gasly has opened up about his “rollercoaster” ♐of a 2019 Formula 1 season, which he began at Red Bull and ended at Toro Rosso.

Having endured a difficult start to life at Red Bull, Gasly was replaced at the senior team by Alexander Albon at the Belgium Grand Prix and returned to the 🍃Toro Rosso fold to see out the remainder of the campaign.

The Frenchman rediscovered his form at Toro Rosso and managed six points finishes in the final nine races, incꦏluding a maiden grand prix podium, having pipped Lewis Hamilton to second place in Brazil.

“Personally, after all the things that happened this year,⛎ it was like such a rollercoasteꦬr of emotions,” Gasly said.

“From frustration to anger, f🔯rom one of the saddest times of my life in Spa with Anthoine [Hubert], and one of the best moments of my life two months later.

“It was rea💞lly intense but I feel like I’ve grown up personally an💝d also as a driver.”

Despite his improved results at Toro Rosso, Gasly does not feel he has been driving any differently. He hopes continuing his fine fo♊rm into next season will lead to another opportunity with Red🌳 Bull in the future.

“On a personal level I don’൲t feel like I am performing better in Toro Rosso than I was at Red Bull,” he explained.

“But obviously there were many things that didn’t work in Red Bull. I know why🍬 it didn’t work and they know as well.

“There were things I could have done differently and for sure it was a lesson for me. I’m sure there are many things they would have differently as ﷽well, so I’m sure they have learnt a lot from this situation.

“It’s a bit frustrating to ha💧ve gone through this. But now that’s the past and I’m focusing on the future. I’m still with Red Bull and I’m sure there will be other opportunities if I continue to perform as I do with Toro Rosso.”
