The Toro Rosso Honda team will be without the services of Pierre Gasly for the 2019 season. In his place, will be the returning Daniil Kvyat and his teammate will be Alexander Albon. Meanwhile, Gasly himself will be promoted to the Red Bull Honda team alongside Max Verstappen.

To thank the Frenchman for all that he has done with the team, the Toro Rosso team did a bit of a throwback. On their Twitter page, they posted a video of Gasly in his GP2 days racing at Spa Francorchamps. Gasly danced around the outside of Oliver Rowland through Eau Rouge in a stunning move. Somehow, he made it through without any contact and a place higher.

Eau Rouge is said to be one of the most iconic corners in motor racing and to pull off a move like that is the stuff of legend. Now, Gasly will be going up against Max Verstappen next season and the battle between them is sure to be epic.
