Formula 1 teams still have five races to go to climb up the world and constructors' championship ladder. In the meantime, motorsport is already busy with next season, when the drivers will appear at the starting line in completely new cars. The first tests gave Pierre Gasly some worries.

The Frenchman has warned the FIA about the front wheel covers. These would partially obscure the driver's vision, causing Gasly to struggle to keep the same level of vision as he has had in his car this season.

Gasly must get used to new car

Despite the concerns, Gasly knows he has to adapt. "Mainly in terms of visibility, it's also going to be quite different with the bigger tyres and the front cover, which I don't really like. But I guess we'll have to get used to it. It kind of covers what you see between the chassis and just above the wishbone, between the chassis and the tyre," he told Autosport.com.

"Especially when you're looking into a corner you kind of lose that visibility to really position the car, and I guess we'll have to to take different reference points compared to the past," Gasly continued. "I mean, it's gonna be the same for everyone, it's just a bit different. It's decreasing visibility, which is never too nice, but we'll deal with it."
