Pierre Gasly drove the morning session for the AlphaTauri team. The 25-year old Frenchman is satisfied with the new AT02 and speaks of 'a good start'. The team had no problems so far.
Start could hardly be better
"We had a good start in Bahrain, everything went smoothly," Gasly is quoted by Speedweek.com as saying. The one-time Grand Prix winner reveals that everything on the to-do list has been ticked off and he says he will be on the attack from Saturday.
Gasly wants to make as few mistakes as possible in 2021, so he can improve on his tenth place among 2020 drivers in the upcoming season. "We have shown a good season, but we can still do more. I know my team and I can improve. To score more points, we need to make as few mistakes as possible."
Lost downforce already regained
The floor of the car is the biggest change from last season, but Gasly says he feels little from the reduction in downforce. "I don't feel a dramatic difference now. I also think that the development in Formula 1 is so fast that we quickly made up for the lost downforce."
