Pieಞrre Gasly is doubtful of Toro Rosso’s chances of scoring points on merit in this weekend’s Italian Grand Prix, saying it will be “a different story” to last weekend’s race at Spa despite the similarity in track layout.

Gasly battled to an unlikely ninth-placಞe finish in the Belgian Grand Prix last Su෴nday, in part thanks to a race of attrition that saw a number of faster cars retire from the race. This came despite the weakness of the Honda engine on the high-speed sections of the circuit.

Monza is the fastest track on the F1 calendar, also featuring a n꧋umber of long straights, but Gasไly said he doubted Toro Rosso’s Spa form would translate between the circuits.

“It is going to be a different s𝔍tory, unfortunately. Monza is on anther level compared to Spa,” Gasly said.

“Spa is a power track, but Monza is 80 percent flat out. Except pushing the throttle peda😼l as hard as we can, it does not make a difference.

“Even if we have improved since the beginnin🌳g of the year we are still pretty far from Ferrari and Mercedes in terms of straight line speed. On a track like thi♊s it is going to be a struggle.

“Still, it doesn’t mean we 𒈔need to give up. We need to give everything we have and on a track like this especially with Turn 1 anything can happen.

“If there is an op🧔portunity for us and points are possible, even if the probability lower than the other races of the se꧒ason, we will try everything to get there.

“Clearly the set up for Monza is really specific, so using the rear wing that is only used in Monza. So you always hope that maybꦦe you have done a beওtter job than the others and you can get that extra form that you did not expect.

“But once again when you see how much time we spend at ඣfull throttle, it is going to be difficult. But I don’t want to be too pessimistic. In Spa we had a♏ good surprise.

“It♊ is going to be tougher here, but let’s see what we can achieve.”

Gasly𓆏 will enter the Monza race weekend chasing his third straight F1 points finish, and the Frenchmaꦯn is hoping to end his difficult record in races at the circuit despite showing good pace over one lap in the past.

“In Monza, the last two years I raced hereꦫ, I was on pole, so it used to be a really good t💦rack for me, especially in GP2,” Gasly said.

“In the race I have always been pretty unlucky. I was leading in 2015 and we broke the driveshaft at the pit stop and the ot🦩her year I was also leading, and the mistake with the safety car ,I ended up losing the victory.

“So it hasn’t really been my track during the race. but I’ve alwaysꩵ been pretty fast around here."
