While explaining what he needs to improve to progress as a driver, Pierre Gasly listed a trait that is best exemplified by Lewis Hamilton.
Lewis Hamilton was among the first people to congratulate Pierre Gasly when he won his first F1 race last year at Monza, and also noted he was happy that Pierre has “a good car underneath him” when AlphaTauri showed good pace in the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix FP2.
When asked what he needed to improve about his driving, Gasly said the main thing was ‘consistency’, something that he believes Lewis has in spades.
“What makes the difference with Lewis for example is consistency,” the French driver told RacingNews365.com.
“I think Lewis is obviously very fast on one lap, but what makes him excellent is that he’s just there on every occasion, even when things go wrong.

“He always manages to save a couple of points from every occasion, just the management in general and being able to be 100 percent on all occasions.
“It’s a sport where we don’t practice. Football, basketball, they practice every single day. For us we practice once every two weeks when it is the race weekend.
“We don’t get in the car in between and obviously the more races you have under your belt the stronger you are and the more experience you get.
“I believe it makes you a more complete driver,” concluded Gasly.
