#8 Pierre Gasly in Bahrain
The weekend in Bahrain was undoubtedly one of Pierre Gasly’s strongest performances in Formula One. The French driver qualified in 6th place, way ahead of his teammate, Brendon Hartley in 11th, and started P5 due to a gearbox penalty dealt to Lewis Hamilton.
The 22-year-old exceeded expectations when he drove his Toro Rosso to finish the race in 4th position. Despite look-see from the Kevin Magnussen in the Hass behind him, as well as trading places with Nico Hulkenberg and Fernando Alonso during pit stops, Gasly ensured that his flawless drives reaped him benefits.
He finished well more than 10 seconds ahead of everyone else in the midfield to score his first points in Formula One.
