Gasly beat Hamilton to sixth-place last time out in Monte Carlo, having started ahead ofꦛ the seven-time champion.

Me🔥rce🎃des’ undercut attempt on Gasly proved to be unsuccessful in the principality, with AlphaTauri responding a lap later and ensuring he came out ahead of Hamilton.

Reflecting on the events of Monaco, Gasly sa🐽id: “I was really happy after Monaco because we know it's a pretty challenging track bot🐲h for drivers for the car and it was a good preparation faultless weekend from all of us and we managed to score some big points so was great.

“I mean Lewis was in the mirror for ... I felt sorry for him he was just stuck behind for 78 laps. But you know, there was basically no opportunity and I was surprised 🐭when I saw them boxing before us. It was not the right thing to do.

“But yeah, in the end, it's better for us. We managed to score some more points and I think was a strong result♓ for the𒉰 team.”

Looking ahead🅰 to this weekend’s Azerbaijan Grand Prix, Gasly is hopeful the team can replicate the pace it showed in 2019 - under the Toro Rosso n♊ame - when Daniil Kvyat qualified sixth.

“It's been a good track for the team, Gasly added. “Daniil was very fast last time out here. We'll see it's a straight track, it's again, very particular quite unique, the way you set up 🤪the car. There are a couple of changes, especially with the castle part without the kerb there.

“So it's going to be slightly different. But I'v🔴e learned to not have any expectations in f1. Because sometimes you think you're going to be fast and then it ends up being a challenging weekend, sometimes you think it's gonna be a hard one and then it's really good. So yeah, we'll just get on track and see how it works.”
