Pierre Gasly: 13th<\/b><\/p>\n
The Toro Rosso-Honda driver started from far back in Singapore, specifically from 15th place, due to a disappointing car in qualifying. On hyper-soft tires, the Norman took a daring gamble by stretching his stint as long as possible. A brave choice, which brought him into the top 10 from the 16th lap before gradually fading.<\/p>\n
\u00ab It was a strange race, \u00bb admitted the driver at the finish. \u00ab I got off to a good start, gaining three positions in the first lap. The end of my stint was more difficult than I imagined, I struggled to make my tires last. \u00bb<\/p>\n
Under the threat from Leclerc’s Sauber, he gave way before heading into the pits at the end of the 27th lap. The damage was done: after losing too much time on track, he re-emerged in 18th position. Goodbye top 10. A small consolation, he finished as the best Frenchman in the race, following the 5-second penalty applied to Romain Grosjean’s race time.<\/p>\n
\u00ab After my pit stop, the situation was confusing with Sirotkin, Grosjean said about the future Red Bull driver. The blue flags also made me lose time. I tried to do my best but I didn’t have the pace to score points this weekend. \u00bb In the overall standings, Gasly (13th, 28 pts) remains ahead of Grosjean by one point (14th, 27 pts). With his 20 Grand Prix under his belt, the Rouen native will celebrate his first year in Formula 1 at the end of September. <\/p>\n
