Formula 1: Former F1 drivers encourage Pierre Gasly to consider other options – Former F1 drivers Felipe Massa and Marc Surer believe that Pierre Gasly should consider his options in the sport after his dream of moving to Red Bull was snubbed as the team gave a two-year contract to Sergio Perez. According to many, the car Gasly is currently driving, AlphaTauri, is not doing justice to his potential. Follow Formula 1 Live Updates on InsideSport.IN.
Former Ferrari driver Massa feels Gasly is a great driver and should get a contract from one of the top teams. He was also impressed by his performance in the Monaco Grand Prix and said, “He was really quick the whole weekend. In qualifying didn’t work well because of the strategy and the red flag, things didn’t work in the perfect way.”

“But I mean the performances he is showing, for a long time already, he is unbelievable. He needs a good car too because he’s showing that he can drive a top car. He’s showing that he can even fight even for victories,” Massa concluded.
Moreover, Marc Surer has echoed the same feelings for the Frenchman. He feels that Gasly needs to look around for options in the driver market. He feels the time is right for him to move on from Red Bull and consider some other team present on the grid.
“He should at least take a look around. I think McLaren could be a good option for him. But what seems most logical to me is if he goes to Alpine. I think we can all agree that Gasly is better than Esteban Ocon,” Surer added.

Meanwhile, Gasly did not have a good start to the 2022 season as he finds himself down in the fourteenth position in the drivers’ standings. He has just managed to score six points from all the races. In the seven races so far, he has two retirements to his name and his best finish was P8 which came at the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix.
Having said that, his performance at the Monaco Grand Prix was something that everybody applauded and saw his potential. His move to change his tyres to intermediates was something that played well in his hands and he finished in the eleventh spot.
