Sorry John but this video is really incomplete, you mention all his results but not what happened in the races and quali's. AlphaTauri has made him miss out on a good quali run at least once. And Gasly has had more stupid little moments of bad luck that are completely out of his control. Yes this season is a bad one for Pierre, he has made a lot of contact with other drivers. But the results aren't the whole picture. He just needs luck on his side for once to show us all what he's really capable of in this era.
I agree with you, but at the same time, Gasly isn't in his top form anyways. He and tsunoda are very close on pace, and this shouldn't happen
@@rafa57games you say that but Yuki has improved, and they are both talented drivers atleast in terms of pace.
You're right about the car being slow, his team screwing up, and bad luck, but I also don't think Gasly himself is totally blameless for his struggles either. Thus far this season something just seems slightly off with him, like he's lacking a little focus maybe. He hasn't been horrible or anything but he hasn't been as good as we know he can be (even after taking everything you mention into account).
@Nando Games really that childish you say something like that
@Nando Games the little name calling is extremely childish dude, that’s what he was pointing out, not what you said
I don't think he's having a bad performance purely on his ability, the Alpha Tauri is pretty slow and he has been unlucky - I think he is still very good. just unlucky.
A combination of three things probably.
1. He hasn't adjusted as well to the new car.
2. The team hasn't adjusted as well to the new car, Alpha Tauri sucks right now.
3. Yuki is doing much better this year, to a point I would find it hard to disagree with someone who said Yuki is better at the moment, so there is not an obvious gap between them to praise Gasly on.
I wouldn't say Yuki is doing a lot better, slightly better in some races.
Pre season I thought he’d be going mclaren, now thinking williams
@@LopoBeater Williams is a way downgrade and also McLaren he would melt like the Honey Badger himself
@@RBMapleLeaf williams is a way out of redbull, and has progression to go up
@@ThatOnionispog Yeah but McLaren isn't great if you compare Daniel Riccardo results from this year as of the Summer break after Hungary to last year it would give vibes of Red Bull 2019 where we completely melted like the gearbox of Checo's Racing Point in the 2020, Bahrain Grand Prix
My guy used Assetto Corsa gameplay to avoid a copyright strike lmao, the copyright system is so shit on this website, i swear
The car is just slow. After FP1, he may be able to actually have a car to have points. Austria was his only bad race this season. If AlphaTauri brings a good car after the summer break then he'll be able to show his actual pace.
He is performing not as good as Tsunoda. Hes should be at least ahead. Yes he has been unlucky. But still, hes not been as good as we know him as.
@@SW-8228 he's performing better than tsunoda tho. He lost around 20 points due to bad luck, mechanical problems and driver mistakes (like alonso yetting himself into galsy throwing him out of the points)
@@SW-8228 He is still better than Tsunoda. At least he didn't crash out of the pit exit and is still beating Yuki in quali. Yuki screwed Gasly's race in Silverstone and quali in Monaco.
Yes, gasly is having a poor season, but I bet a lot of teams would want to have him. Willians, McLaren, Alpha and even Haas would love to have a talented driver like him to complete the line up
McLaren should replace Daniel with gasly
@@SelfImprovement1111 the will in 2024 im pretty sure
Gasly actually decided to take a break for awhile. His American twin Pedro Gaseoso is driving atm
It's sad that a segment of F1 fandom is so stupid you actually have to come right out and say you don't hate Pierre Gasly. Some fans are convinced that the only reason anyone would ever criticize a team or driver is because they're biased and a hater. It's maddening.
Agreed... an aspect I detest on modern fandom.
@@soundscape26 After the Austrian Grand Prix WTF1 did a video about how flares should be banned. Obviously that was in response to the Dutch fans going way overboard with them at that race, but we'd seen a lot of orange smoke at other races too. We know the tifosi aren't averse to using them either. I usually go to my mom and dad's house to watch the races with my old man and my mom barely watches while spending most of the time looking at her phone. Even she's noticed all the flares this year. We're Americans and flares aren't part of fan culture at all in the US so the spectacle of people making it so they can't see the sporting event they're attending and breathing in smoke _on purpose_ seems really bizarre to us. Anyway, I think WTF1's opinion that flares should be banned is reasonable; some may disagree but I don't think he's way out of line or anything.
Naturally someone popped up in the comments to say his video was an attack on the Dutch fans.
3:28 - Regardless of who he's driving for in 2023? He will stay put at Alpha Tauri as he renewed his contract a month ago or so.
I don't think staying with AT for another year was a bad idea. The only teams with a potential seat for next year are Aston Martin and Williams I believe. Not exactly a move that gets you closer to a top team.
Where else could he have gone anyway?
@@zjsz4954 Basically only williams and aston martin I think after checo signed his new red bull contract. Maybe mclaren if ricciardo decides to quit. So yeah, there really were no good options for him.
Him casually joining Alpine:
I think Gasly had a difficult start to the season and it's tilted him a bit - but then, my favourite thing that I've noticed about Gasly is that he seems to have this love/hate relationship with adversity, I think he kind of thrives in it - at least this is what I saw him take from his time at Red Bull, and it's the reason why I admire him as a person even outside of F1
The question for me is will Gasly have the mental fortitude to really turn the 2023 season around - luck with the other drivers on track and his team are massive factors for sure, but given that they will be running an improved version of the 2022 car instead of a completely new car (I think the massive changes for the 2022 car tilted a lot of people's 2022 season), I think Gasly might be in a position to get back his 2021 momentum - he's done it before, and he's bounced back HARD from adversity before - I think it's really cool to see these patterns in any sportsperson, that willpower to push through adversity and go on to better and better performances - let's see
as a frenchman i love pierre but tbh he never faced a good teammate except verstappen and that went rlly wrong
maybe last years the alpha tauri was better than we think and pierre wasnt overdriving it, it was just yuki and kvyat that were bad
Channels going amazing John!
thanks tony!
You really gonna criticize his Miami performance without mentioning Alonso damaging him?
Yeah okay dude
Sry but in my opinion this video misses a lot of important information. You should at least have been comparing yuki and gasly and should have stated that yuki is way closer to gasly. I dont understand how u could leave that out.
Great video!
I think it would be fair that you also mention all the back luck he’s had. For exemple Sergio Perez keeping his Q2 lap in Austria despite obviously being out of track limits and costing Gasly Q3. And also (you couldn’t have mentioned that since it hadn’t happened though 😂) his lap deleted in Hungary even though he was within the track limits and unlike Perez, not reinstated. We can also mention Monaco we’re Yuki causes a red flag and AT then decides it is a good idea to send him ahead of Gasly even though he’s been slower all weekend which costs Gasly his final run of Q1.
He already renewed the contract with Alpha
holy shit. I´m always amazed how good your videos are. Damn, keep up with the good work:)
i think hes just suffering with the new cars and hasnt gotten used to them yet
Gasly had to continue at AlphaTauri, after all he's had a 2023 contract with Red Bull for a while now
Gasly is good driver!
Idk what’s up with Pierre, he often looks fast in practice then falls off in Q1
leave my mans alone, talk about stroll of latifi
You've clearly not done your research. He literally has a contract with At for next year already. And you didn't talk about what actually happened in races and qualis
silverstone was all on Rusell tho. the gap was actually slightly increasing when gasly first went for it but George forgot to check his mirrors or thought Gasly was further behind the gap started closing when Pierre was already there and didn't have time to back out and he also couldn't due to a car being behind him..
If he deosn't start crushing Yuki , he's stocks will go down hard
He'll bounce back
AT is the slowest car from the grid. The really bad news for him is that he will waste another year with this team...is very frustrating for him.
AT isn't the slowest car, that goes to Aston Martin and Williams
instead, the team itself turned into Ferrari, but far worse
2:20 Remember:
If you no longer go for a gap that exists, you are no longer a racing driver.
-Ayrton Senna
This video completely glosses over one massive point from Pierre's season thus far. Bad Luck. I can't begin to recount the amount of times I've seen him get screwed by terrible luck, whether it be AlphaTauri sending him out at the absolute worst times in qualifying, or by other drivers getting him involved in something that he wasn't even involved in. I think the analysis is good but missing that massive point really hurts the overall execution of the video.
Hey! I notice you're using Aldas music lol. Besides that, amidst all the Alpine-Piastri-McLaren drama, I don't know what to think about Gasly. His future is not at AlphaTauri, that's for sure.
Pierre's non-AlphaTauri future is in the hands of other drivers and teams. He could go to Haas depending on what contract KMag has, but that's probably the only option since ALO replaced VET at Aston. Formula One really needs another team, wherther the current teams want it or not.
What caused the copyright strike?
formula one claiming content that wasn’t theirs, again🥲
Formula one management didn't like fair use of videos of F1 cars.
@@JohnWarren They love ruining the content of great youtubers.
@@JohnWarren they are the most strict iveseen on strikes
I don’t think Gasly is having a ‘bad season’ this year. I just think Alpha Tauri haven’t been as good as they were last year, the car isn’t as good, and Yuki Tsunoda has upped his game a bit.
This could have and should have been a longer video. Discussing his other potential options, and with whom he could have signed for 2023. Feels like a wasted opportunity, this.
You should try to only use photos and no FOM footage for your next video. FOM has been on your ass so much, and even CZcams makes it difficult for me to find new videos in my feed. So maybe using photos in a similar style to The Race could help
Yes, The Race and WTF1 use photos for the most part. And footage provided by the teams themselves from their filming days. That does the trick.
2:20 I mean yes Russell would be given most of the blame but Gasly literally going for a gap that was closing but he was trying to make a move and Russell didn’t check his mirrors or know that Gasly had his nose there (Also look at the replay it looks like Russell cut left to try and block Gasly but he was already at his Sidepod and George… Well… got kinda what he deserved for not checking his mirrors)
AND!!! Let’s be all fair this comment would be done with the one quote to sum it all up
“if you no longer go for a gap that exists, your no longer a racing driver” - Aryton Senna, 1990.
I mean the quote can’t really be used here but he was going for a move and that’s F1 for you, taking risks is part of all types of motorsport and sporting events as a whole.
He is not underperforming the cad is bad this year, and if he didn’t take that contract with AT then where would he have gone? There was no space anywhere he would have left F1
The AT car and team are bad, but Gasly is as bad this year in my opinion. The amount of crashes he had where he wad to blame, the amount of mistakes he made... If he doesn't get a hold of himself, he might be out of a seat
Sorry dude. I blame Norris for the Miami incident.
To be honest, Gasly had always been a bit accident-prone especially on the first lap of the race (always losing his frontwing or something). To me, he might be fast on a good day, but always seem to be just hanging on a thread.
I've a strong feeling that this is the exact reason why Red Bull refused to sign him again, the uncertainty on his actual consistency is not something they would wanna risk again.
sublimation.
Maybe will see him take a seat at Alpine lol
what are you using the same music as f1 talking points
i wont lie - i didn’t even realise it was the same song until you pointed it out😅
Why reupload
copyright strike
@@JohnWarren ok
Didn’t he sign to alpha Tauri for next year?
I feel like this is an unpopular opinion but I think he’s the most overrated driver on the grid, like he won one race and now so many people think he’ll be a word champion and I just don’t see it
Always said it Gasly is overrated
Professional waffler is back.
This video is delivered with a lot of enthusiasm, almost as if you have been waiting to cover his downfall 😅😅😅.
That said. I don't think Pierre is underperforming. His car last year was in the upper midfield. He could comfortable hit 4-6th position regularly while others like Alpine struggled to attain similar results. Also, the gap between midfield teams was enormous. Alpha Tauri and Alpine were in a different league compared to say AM and AR. This year tables have turned. The midfield is closer together. There is no telling who between AR, AT, Alpine, Haas, and AM will finish highest in a race. Slight weaknesses in your car could send you back to p14-p18.
I think what has gotten Pierre is the same thing that has gotten similarly talented drivers before like Grosjean, Perez and Magnussen etc. You spend a long time in an average car knowing you're more talented than your situation. Mistakes begin creeping in as you struggle to compensate for the car's weaknesses. I won't be surprised if Pierre is the next dirtiest driver in the grid.
I'm not sure I follow you. You say you don't think Gasly is underperforming but then say he's allowed mistakes to begin creeping in. Personally I think those mistakes are the reason he seems to be underperforming. The car isn't great and he's been unlucky but he just seems a little off this year. He hasn't been terrible by any means but he hasn't performed like we know he's capable of either.
Your comment about talented drivers getting frustrated from being stuck in midfield machinery for years is an interesting one. I understand why guys want to be in Formula One but spending year after year knowing you can't win and that even making the podium is a serious long shot has to get a little old for some people. I'm sure Grosjean wouldn't trade his years in F1 for anything but he seems a lot happier now that he's in Indycar.
Sorry mate but you are completely wrong
He’s mid.
who cares, Yuki supremacy LESSS GOOO
Maybe you guys have been overrating him through the years. the 2020 and 2021 AT was on par with the McLaren yet he couldn't even beat Ricciardo last year. Theres a reason RB hasn't hired him back. I think they know the car is capable of more than what Gasly has been achieving. If he deserved the seat and if he was really putting in great performances, he would have been signed to RB. Let's not forget there hasn't been a single success story from the RB Junior program. Max and Daniel kinda but both of them spent short times with TR and weren't RB academy drivers before that.
Bro he's literally ahead of tsunoda in the standings and is showing improvements in the last races and you still make this video
Tsunoda is almost brand new to F1 while Gasly is a veteran. Gasly will never be World Championship material.
ahead of his teammate who has been driving for 1/2 years in f1 hmm
Clearly commented before watching the actual video
And we should remember that Gasly is ahead of Yuki just because he got 5th in Azerbaijan
Yuki should’ve been ahead without that DRS failure
Showing improvements? He caused crashed in the sprint and main race in Austria!
=GASTLY WAS LABELED AS DRIVER THAT HAS NO FUTURE FOR BEING TOO OLD BY CURRENT F1 STANDARDS,I REMEMBER
.........SO.........AS BEING UNABLE TO LEAVE REDBULL SYSTEM,SADLY,BEING IN TOROROSSO IS THE BEST GASTLY CAN DO.......
Gasly has the same driving style as Danny Ric. He needs a strong front end. These cars are characterised by being front limited in general. As we know from Danny last year with the front limited McLaren he really struggled. So it’s no surprise both are struggling. That’s what’s going on with him. Idrk what the video was about, just saying he was not on form and needs to turn it around.
