Gasly: "We expected to be better" but the car felt good in Canada

Just as it looked Pierre Gasly's form was improving the Frenchman suffered a disappointing P8 in Canada but he's insisted the car felt good despite a frustrating weekend all round for Red Bull.

Gasly qualified in fifth for the Canadian Grand Prix but was unable to replicate that result in the race itself, as he dropped down to eighth behind his teammate Max Verstappen and both Renault drivers. It was a result which goes against his improved form of late as he continues to adapt to life at Red Bull.

After being overtaken on the opening lap by Daniel Ricciardo the Frenchman never properly recovered but he still feels the car felt good despite results suggesting otherwise.

“It was a pretty difficult day but the car actually felt quite good so it is disappointing to finish where we did,” said Gasly as quoted by The Chequered Flag.
