Pierre Gasly has already earned ten penalty points, finding himself in a very difficult situation: when he collects twelve, the rider receives a disqualification for a stage and Pierre’s next points will only run out in May 2023.
At a press conference in Brazil, the AlphaTauri driver said he would discuss this issue with the FIA, because he didn’t believe his actions on the track deserved to be disqualified.
Pierre Gasly: “The situation is unpleasant and in some ways also embarrassing. I don’t think my actions were dangerous – the punishment is too severe.
I want to take part in all races with Alpine. It may be that in 2023 I will have a competitive car at my disposal, at the wheel of which you can fight for the title. In that case, I don’t want to lose the race.
I will discuss this problem with the FIA to find a solution. The regulation is very strictly written in relation to the runner and the fine will have very serious consequences. I look forward to further discussions to avoid a stupid disqualification. This is the wrong approach. “
