Pierre Gasly finished 7th in the 2023 F1 Round 21 Sao Paulo GP (Brazilian GP). He said it was “one of the best performances of the season.” Starting from 15th on the grid, Gasly made two good starts to break into the top 10, and from there he executed a perfect two-stop strategy to move through the midfield and move up the ranks, passing Lewis Hamilton with skill and finishing in 7th place. . Although he didn’t have enough time to chase down Carlos Sainz, it was clear that the highlight of his afternoon was the melee with the Mercedes and Ferraris.
“It was an incredible race and I’m very happy with the work we did as a team this weekend,” Gasly said. “In qualifying, I deliberately decided to compromise a bit with the car’s set-up to improve my chances of racing. “I moved up eight places from 15th and was able to join Carlos, Mercedes and Aston in the pack. We did it. Our tire management, pit stops, and strategy were good. Esteban finished 10th and I finished 7th, so the team as a whole had a strong race and we were very positive.” Pierre Gasly: ”We were very good at today’s race. I’m happy and I think it’s one of the best performances of the season. It was a very difficult race with multiple stints and pit stops, but the whole team made the right decisions and did a great job executing the pit stops. 7th and 10th place for the team was clearly a strong performance, especially after starting near the back of the grid. We were able to compete with Carlos (Sainz) and the two Mercedes cars from start to finish. , we’ve obviously made progress since yesterday. Next up is Las Vegas. It’s definitely going to be a great experience. I’m always excited about a new race, but I’m going to go into the race as prepared as I can and give it my all on the track. It’s up to us.”
