Gasly laughs: 'Verstappen should get a penalty every race'

A penalty for Verstappen every race

Gasly said in a conversation with Sky Sports that he identifies Verstappen as the favourite for victory. "When I saw how fast Max is, it occurred to me that he should be penalised every race and always start from the back so much he would win anyway", he laughs.

"He is incredibly fast and I think he will win the race, for sure", the Frenchman added. Gasly praised his former teammate and said the Dutchman was driving in his own category.

Gasly goes for points

Gasly will start from eighth on the grid in Belgium. From this position, the AlphaTauri driver hopes to score points. He has not managed to do so since the Azerbaijan Grand Prix six races ago.
