Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda are one of the highlights of the paddock due to their high energetic and amazing team bonding at Alpha Tauri.

Pierre Gasly spoke about a ‘disastrous’ dinner date with his favourite teammate which did not go as planned. He stated: “Last time we organized [a dinner] it was a pretty big disaster because he showed up an hour late.”

The Frenchman added: “Luckily we were with other people but he likes to misbehave, but he had his own reasons. So it’s all fine, he’ll get another chance.”
