Pierre Gasly: Everyone on the team must work together.
On Thursday in Mexico City Pierre Gasly commented on the actions of his teammate Franco Colapinto in the closing laps of the race in Austin, when he failed to follow a team order and overtook him. The French Alpine driver shares the same view as the management, which held an explanatory talk with Franco after the finish.
"We discussed what happened, so there's no point in talking about it here," Gasly said before the start of the race weekend in Mexico City. "Everything that needed to be said has been said. Both the team and I are not in the most pleasant of situations, so we need to act together, stay united. That is exactly what we want.
I am much more concerned with how to make sure we don't lose an extra three seconds on pit stops because of delays. In the race, on the second stint I lost ten seconds, and that is what led to that situation. We've analyzed everything, and now everything is clear.
Unfortunately, the pit stop delay cost us dearly, and I spent a lot of time behind Esteban Ocon's car at the start of the stint. It's important that we work on and fix these problems before the upcoming races."
