Gasly wants to help AlphaTauri to a record: 'One of my personal goals'

Pierre Gasly is performing above expectations this season. Where his teammate Yuki Tsunoda is on eighteen points in the world championship, the Frenchman has no less than 32 points more. As a result, AlphaTauri could have its best year ever this season.

In the past AlphaTauri (before Minardi and Toro Rosso) never managed to finish in the top five of the world championship. This season the team has scored points in every race and is in sixth place in the Constructors' Championship with nine points less than Alpine, so anything is still possible.

"I think it was probably the best start of the season I’ve ever had in Formula One," Gasly assessed in conversation with Motorsportweek.com. "It was really successful. We’ve obviously managed to secure one podium in Baku already this year, which was the highlight of these first races. We’ve had great Saturdays, great qualifying, putting the car in Q3 for most of the races and this is a great achievement."

AlphaTauri battles with Aston Martin and Alpine

Gasly, therefore, hopes to end up in the top five. "We can see our battle in the championship shaping up race after race with Aston Martin and Alpine. It is one of my personal targets to bring this fifth position to these guys and this will be a first. It’s a pretty exciting season so far for us."
