Gas man

Red Bull boss Helmut Marko reckons Pierre Gasly’s stunning fourth place in Bahrain “made a man out of him”. The Honda-powered Toro Rosso finished just outside the podium places, despite it being just Gasly’s seventh F1 start. Marko said: “That made a man out of him. His reward is the fourth place. All of our drivers also have a very good bonus system. This will more than please him. I didn’t expect a fourth place this early – but it’s a very positive development. It was the target to challenge the midfield with this engine.”
