Pierre Gasly was left unhappy after finishing the Belgian Grand Prix in 13th place amid a series of issues with his car and strategy, marking the latest in a series of challenging weekends for the Frenchman.
Having lined up in P12 on the grid, Gasly found himself caught in a DRS train for much of the race and crossed the line in P14, which became P13 following the disqualification of winner George Russell.

Reflecting on the Grand Prix afterwards, the 28-year-old expressed his frustration at having another difficult event, having recorded a DNF last time out in Hungary and a DNS two weeks earlier at Silverstone.
“I’m not happy at all, I’m not happy at all,” said Gasly. “We had an engine problem all afternoon, we lost seven-tenths on the straights every lap, an engine temperature problem, the steering was not straight throughout the race, we didn’t apply the right strategy… We make too many mistakes.
“The last three weekends have been absolutely frustrating. Basically, we are not at the top of what we should be, and I know the lads can do much better than that. It has been a tough start to the year, then we scored about 10 points as a team.
