F1 drivers will need an open mind for 2022 cars – Gasly

Pierre Gasly believes Formula 1 drivers will need an open mind when adapting to the new-for-2022 cars, following the unveiling of AlphaTauri’s AT03.

Formula 1 is adopting revised technical regulations this year that have been described as the biggest overhaul in a generation.

That has resulted in the return of ground effect, generating downforce in this way, rather than from the overly complex wings and associated devices, which led to dirty air.

Gasly reckons drivers will have to be adaptable – and is confident that AlphaTauri has exploited the intricacies of the new regulations.

“I think we will have to tackle it with an open mind, being ready for any eventuality,” said Gasly.

“It’s a fresh start for all the teams, starting pretty much from zero as we are really looking at a clean sheet of paper scenario.

“I have no doubts about our team’s abilities and, as of now, they are quite pleased with the work they have done.

“Like everyone, they’ve been working on it for many months now, but it’s difficult to have an idea of what we can expect until the car goes out on track in Barcelona.

“Then we will get an idea of how the car behaves and how we look compared to the others. I’m sure this season will be full of surprises.”

Gasly finished ninth in last year’s championship, which included a podium finish in Azerbaijan, as he prepares for another season with the outfit he first joined in 2017.

“My approach will be the same as the one I adopted last year,” said Gasly.

“I will be trying to build on the run I had of very good results and to continue to be on top of my game with the car I have.

“I really hope that this is a year when I can fight at the very front, to finish regularly in the top five and even higher if the car is good enough for that.

“We must be prepared to deal with whatever situations arise. So mentally I’ve prepared myself to deal with any possible scenario.”
