Pierre Gasly insists he is now ready for a top team after flopping at Red Bull

Pierre Gasly insists he can handle the pressure of racing for a top team as he looks to move back to the front of the grid after his ill-fated spell with Red Bull.

He joined Max Verstappen with the main team at the start of the 2019 season with the team hoping he could fill the void left by Daniel Ricciardo. Alas, he could not, as he struggled to cope with the weight of the expectation that comes with the seat.

It was clear that he was cracking under the pressure, and so Christian Horner acted after just 12 races. He was demoted back to the sister team, while Alex Albon moved in the opposite direction and lasted another 18 months, before the arrival of Verstappen's current team-mate Sergio Perez.
