Gasly “felt sorry” for Hamilton during Monaco F1 GP battle for sixth

Gasly beat Hamilton to sixth-pla🍎ce last time out in Moꦕnte Carlo, having started ahead of the seven-time champion.
Mercedes’ undercut attempt on Gasly proved to be unsuccessful in the principality, with AlphaTauri responding a lap later and ensuring he 𒈔came out ahead of Hamilton.
Reflecting on the events of Monaco, Gasly said: “I was really happy after Monaco because we know it's a pretty challenging track both for drivers for the car and it was a good preparation faultless weekend from all of us and we managed to𒈔 score some big points so was great.
“I mean Lewis was in the mirror for ... I felt sorry for him he ﷽was just stuck behind for 78 laps. But you know, there was basically no opportunity and I was surprised when I saw them boxing before us. It was not the r༒ight thing to do.
“But yeah, in the end, it's better for us. We managed to score some more points and I think was a strong result💟 for the team.”
Looking ahead to this weekend’s Azerbaija💙n Grand Prix, Gasly is hopeful the team can replicate the pace it showed in 2019 - under th💎e Toro Rosso name - when Daniil Kvyat qualified sixth.
“I🎶t's been a good track for the team, Gasly added. “Daniil was very fast last time out here. We'll see it's a straight track, it's again, very particular quite unique, the way you set up the car. There are a couple of changes, especially with the castle part without the kerb there.
“So it's going to be slightly different. But I've learned to not have any expectations in f1.🍸 Because sometimes you think you're going to be fast and then it ends up being a 🍒challenging weekend, sometimes you think it's gonna be a hard one and then it's really good. So yeah, we'll just get on track and see how it works.”
