Pierre Gasly admits that his good start to the 2021 season was his best since joining Formula 1.

So far this year, the Frenchman has put in a number of strong performances, finishing in the points in eight of the eleven races. Gasly has been consistently ahead of new teammate Yuki Tsunoda, with a podium result in the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. All of this has made the 25-year-old quite optimistic.

“I think it’s probably the best start of the season I’ve ever had in Formula 1,” Gasly said and other select media. “It was really successful.

“We obviously managed to secure one podium in Baku already this year, which was the highlight of these first races. I think we’ve had great Saturdays, great qualifying, putting the car in Q3 for most of the races, and this was a great achievement.

“I think on Sundays, [we’ve] started not as great, and I think we’ve made progress and managed to fight some pretty fast cars, sometimes the McLarens, sometimes the Ferraris.”

AlphaTauri has set a goal of finishing fifth in the Constructors’ Championship this season, and Gasly is optimistic that they will be able to achieve it. The team is presently in sixth place, nine points behind Alpine in fifth and seven points ahead of Aston Martin in seventh.

“We can see our battle in the championship shaping up race after race with Aston and Alpine,” Gasly said.

“We’re fighting for the fifth position in the Constructors’ Championship, which is something which has never happened for the team, so it just shows we are having a good year, and it’s one of my personal targets to bring the fifth position to these guys and this will be a first.

“So it’s a pretty exciting season so far for us.”

Gasly’s good performance in 2021 has generated speculation about his future plans, however it looks that he and Tsunoda will both continue at AlphaTauri in 2022.
