"I must say on my race I'm disappointed and confused because when we're running P3 and I'm going green and we know the rain is coming. I was in the perfect position to just stay long," he said when asked by Motorsport.com about the race.
"But once again I don't want to share too much frustration, it's still a beautiful day for the whole team with the podium but we have a couple of things to improve, and we'll do it for next time."Pierre Gasly, Alpine A523"It was exciting," he said."A couple of big moments, I must say the grip was extremely low. Poor visibility, blue flags, I needed to go between cars and debris here and there.
Asked if it was dangerous, he said:"I think there was one lap where coming down to Turn 5 it was like 'something bad is going to happen'. It was depending on the part of the track, some areas were drying, and had dry patches, and some others were very, very wet.
