#4 Pierre Gasly is getting exposed

Pierre Gasly's career might be on a very slippery slope right now. Finishing 10th in a race without any incidents in a Red Bull is a disaster for the Frenchman. The bosses at Red Bull were not that happy as Horner described the race as "frustrating". But the truth is, Gasly was beaten fair and square by drivers in inferior cars.

Looking at the way things are going, it won't be a surprise if Gasly does get the boot from the management in place of someone else. It's not like Red Bull is short of options either. They could promote Daniil Kvyat who was once upon a time deemed fit enough to drive that car. Or they could look elsewhere on the grid.

Nico Hulkenberg's name has been attached with the seat already and he will be out of contract at the end of the season. Then there's another teen sensation in Esteban Ocon who could be an option. There's also a certain Spanish double World Champion as well who just got released by McLaren in Fernando Alonso. Red Bull gave Gasly the opportunity that many thought he deserved but looking at the results and with 8 races done, the gap between the two drivers just seems too big for Gasly to bridge.
