Pierre Gasly reveals why being at Red Bull was a difficult time for him

In the previous few years, Red Bull has been known for the failure of producing an impactful 2^nd driver to drive alongside Max Verstappen. Be it the latest Alexander Albon or Pierre Gasly in 2019. Having said that, Gasly recently revealed how he was over the moon when he got a call-up from Red Bull. 

But everything was not as dreamy as it seemed for Gasly, he became a victim to crashes at crucial weekend races and eventually got demoted. Soon, the much-anticipated announcement of reverting Gasly back to AlphaTauri came to light. However, the switch to AlphaTauri turned out to be the perfect solution as Gasly has since been uncatchable.

Writing to The Players’ Tribune, Gasly revealed the real reason behind his brief yet tough run with the raging bulls. Unsurprisingly, he blamed the crew for not supporting him through the 2019 season. 

“I’d had a crash in winter testing, and from that moment on the season never really got going. Then I had a tough first two races with Red Bull and the media just ate me up,” he said. “Anything I said in the press was twisted into an excuse for my form, and nobody really stuck up for me. 

“It was a difficult time for me at Red Bull because I didn’t feel like I was really supported and treated the same way as others there have been. And for me, that’s something that I just can’t accept. I was working my ass off every day, trying to get results for the team,” Gasly added. 

“But I was not being given all the tools I needed to succeed. I would try to offer solutions, but my voice wasn’t heard. Or it would take weeks to see changes.”
