F1: 5 Talking Points after the British GP 2019

It was an action-packed race with Lewis notching up his sixth British GP win

#5 Pierre Gasly finally showed up at Silverstone

Gasly finished a career-high P4 at Silverstone on a weekend where he showed competitive pace at every juncture

P4 in Silverstone should have felt like a victory for Pierre Gasly after what has been a torrid season for the Frenchman. At Silverstone this weekend, Pierre Gasly drove like the driver he was supposed to be when Red Bull promoted him from Torro Rosso.

Gasly was always there or thereabouts in pace with Max, keeping him close company throughout the race and most importantly, he didn't drop off in pace at any stage.

Gasly qualified 5th, ahead of a certain four-time World Champion and throughout the race, he kept pace with the lead group. He had a great battle with Charles Leclerc on a slightly worn-out tire but if there was a driver who was in dire need of a good race, then it was Gasly.

All Gasly needs to do is repeat this performance in the upcoming races because if he does so, there's no doubt that Red Bull will, in all likelihood stick with him for the future.
