Horner explains Gasly's Baku disqualification

Christian Horner has explained just why Pierre Gasly was excluded from qualifying for the Azerbaijan Grand Prix.

The Frenchman was found to have exceeded the fuel flow limit but has expanded on just what happened to the Red Bull driver.

Gasly had set the fastest time of all in Q1, gaining a tow from a Racing Point car in front, providing him with a huge straight line speed advantage which is a crucial factor around the Baku City street circuit.

Gasly had recovered up to sixth place during the race until a driveshaft failure put him out of the running in the latter stages of the race. Despite the DNF, Gasly said he felt much more comfortable in the car and was happy with the weekend's work.
