Before the start of an important season that will see him step up to the next level, Pierre Gasly headed west to California to kick start his physical preparation and enjoy some winter warmth with girlfriend Caterina.

The couple settled for a couple of weeks in Los Angeles, taking in the sights and sounds of the City of Angels, with visits to Universal Studios or the Getty Museum interspersed with a few torture sessions concocted by Red Bull performance coach Pyry Salmela.

The road to Melbourne is one of pain and suffering!
