After topping the times in FP2 Pierre Gasly says that he expects a “pretty tight” battle with Ferrari and that the Scuderia will show their “true pace” on Saturday.
After the relatively dry conditions during FP1 rain hit for the afternoon and Gasly was happy with how the Red Bull performed in both the dry and wet conditions as he set a time of 1:17.854.
The Frenchman said in Red bull’s review: “We have a strong car and the package seems to be working well in both the dry and the wet, but we can’t take many conclusions from today with the mixed conditions.
“I was happy with the car in both sessions, even if we didn’t do many laps, but it’s too early to see where we stand."
“I don’t know what’s going to happen with the weather tomorrow but it could be really unpredictable like today with more tricky conditions.
“I think as expected Mercedes are really fast and we probably didn’t see Ferrari’s true pace so we’ll find out tomorrow what we can fight for, but the battle with Ferrari will be pretty tight.”
