Pierre Gasly says he would return to Red Bull if the opportunity arose as he wants the ‘fastest Formula 1 car possible’.Check out the F1 YouTube channel – CLICK HEREThe Frenchman claimed an unlikely maiden F1 victory last time out at Monza, holding off the McLaren of Carlos Sainz in the closing stages.Even before his race win, Gasly has been one of the season’s star performers leading to questions of him returning to Red Bull in place of Alexander Albon, who continues to struggle in 2020.Gasly was dropped by the senior team mid-way through 2019 after a torrid run of races but has bounced back remarkably with a podium at the penultimate race in Brazil in 2019 and his win at Monza last weekend.When asked ahead of the Tuscan Grand Prix at Mugello whether he would want to return to Red Bull, Gasly said: “I’m competitive and I’ve already said it’s the goal for every racing driver, you want to be in the fastest car possible to get the best positions you can.“Even though I feel at the moment we are performing at a high level and really extracting everything from the AlphaTauri car my personal target is to fight for podiums on a more regular basis, and wins and championships if possible. I always try to be in the fastest car available and this will always be the target.”Gasly revealed he hasn’t had a chance to speak to Red Bull team boss Christian Horner or consultant Helmut Marko about his future.“At the moment we didn’t really have time to talk about all this, Gasly said. “Helmut congratulated me in Monza, sent me a text. Similar for Christian. They were both really happy for my success. What it’s going to change for the future, at the moment, I didn’t really think about all this. I didn’t discuss anything with them.“But obviously in Toro Rosso as Seb [Vettel] mentioned it to me on Monday when he called me, we’re the only two to have won with this team. He won in 2008 and went with Red Bull to win four world championships, as you know. I am really happy to have joined him in this winners club for this team.“We will see what opportunities there will be in the future but at the moment I just want to take this time to celebrate with AlphaTauri, with this team. We still have many more races to go until the end of the year and we need to make sure we perform at a very high level and the focus is on that at the moment.””4
