Sebastian Vettel finally managed to make it his presence felt in the 2021 Formula 1 season after registering his first points for Aston Martin as he outraces Pierre Gasly and Lewis Hamilton. The 4-time World Champion came out of the pits side-by-side with Gasly up Beau Rivage before eventually getting the move completed at Massenet.
Gasly explained after the race that he went to speak to Sebastian Vettel about the fine margins involved in the move. But also acknowledged it was a fair move.
Pierre Gasly acknowledge Sebastian Vettel fair move in Monaco Grand Prix
Pierre Galsy said as per MotorSports, “It was pretty close. It was tight, hard racing, but still fair. We still made it.
“I think if I would have been a bit more aggressive, we would probably both ended up in the harbour, so yeah I’m glad we came out of it.”
Explaining the overtake from his view, Vettel admitted it was “very tight” to get the move completed and avoid contact.
“You don’t see much, and he was in the dead angle, the blind spot where I can’t really see him,” Vettel said.
“We go up and then at some stage it starts to go left and right, left and right.
“I quickly spoke with him and he said he didn’t know if I saw him and if I will give him room. I gave him room, but I also had to go in the pickup.
Pierre Gasly added, “I had fresh tyres, so just enough, I guess, and I was just that quarter of a car to half a car in front, which made the difference.”
The result nevertheless marked Gasly’s best finish of the 2021 season so far, helping to lift AlphaTauri above Alpine to sixth place in the drivers’ championship.
