Pierre Gasly won the
Italian Grand Prix, sending an important signal to
Red Bull Racing. The driver is still a long way from being written off and, according to
Lewis Hamilton, has caused a lot of pain at Red Bull.
In 2019 Gasly had the opportunity to join
Red Bull Racing after having driven in
Formula 1 for a year. It turned out to be perhaps a little too early for Gasly, who was kicked out of the team after six months. Now, however, Gasly already has a podium and a victory behind his name, where his replacement has not yet been able to do so for
Red Bull Racing.
Hamilton supports Gasly
''Pierre is a nice guy and I think he is a great talent. He just hasn't been treated fairly by Red Bull and I sympathise with him. To rebuild trust and show these things is very impressive. It's not easy to win, but he did it anyway", says Hamilton according to
Motorsport.com.
Red Bull ended the
Italian Grand Prix without points when they could have won.
''Hopefully, Pierre will get another chance, because he has now simply beaten the team where he was expelled. That must be painful for Red Bull'', concludes the Brit.
