The joy of F1 - Gasly explains his passion for racing

Pierre Gasly has endured a rather subdued start to his life at Red Bull Racing, but with each passing race the Frenchman is making progress.

Gasly enjoyed his best result year to date with the Milton Keynes-based squad last time out in Monaco where he clocked in at the end of the race with a fifth-place finish and a bonus points for fastest lap.

The productive result will have no doubt further boosted his motivation, but Gasly admits that merely driving an F1 car in anger and the pleasure it provides is the ultimate incentive.

Speaking to Mobil 1 The Grid, the 23-year-old conveys his passion for racing, the speed, the adrenaline and the incomparable thrill he feels behind the wheel of an F1 car.
