Pierre Gasly has become the second driver in Alpha Tauri history to win a race. The first was Sebastian Vettel in 2008 and Gasly has his name alongside him after Sunday. Following his win at Monza, Gasly had also received a call from Sebastian Vettel congratulating him on his win. Gasly further explained his excitement by saying, “But obviously in Toro Rosso, as Seb mentioned it to me on Monday when he called me, we’re the only two to have won with this team.

What is Red Bull Thinking?
The Red Bull team must have given some attention to this fleeting thought. It is evident that Albon cannot match the quality of Verstappen and for the latter to flourish, they would first need to give him competition. In the context, there is none better than Gasly at this point in time.
