Pierre Gasly simply 'ran out of excuses' at Red Bull, leading to his demotion five years ago, claims Helmut Marko...
Helmut Marko has said Pierre Gasly struggled to come to terms with Max Verstappen being much quicker than him when they were Red Bull teammates.
At the time, Red Bull advisor Helmut Marko had hinted at some behind-the-scenes tension following speculation Gasly had been in an argument with Adrian Newey over how to build the Red Bull to better suit his own driving style, with the Austrian saying: “We told Gasly that he should use the Verstappen setting. He has to adapt it to his driving style.five years on, Marko has said the reason for Gasly’s frustrations was likely his inability to come to terms with the reality of the situation.
While the Mexican recently signed a two-year extension with Red Bull, his lack of points over the last six races – just 15 points scored – have resulted in him falling outside the 100-point minimum his contract is believed to require him to be within of Max Verstappen. At 137 points behind, this deficit would trigger an exit clause Red Bull can use to replace him – should the team feel like it.
