For next year, he is looking forward to more battles with rivals such as McLaren and Ferrari.

According to the AlphaTauri driver, fighting against Ferrari and McLaren had been the most thrilling aspect of the season. He went on to say that he intends to battle them again next year.

As quoted from Autosport, Gasly said, “As an entire season, 22 races, I must say I enjoyed all 22. Coming into a race weekend knowing you’re going to be fighting for points, you’re going to fight with Ferraris and McLarens, is just a different kind of excitement.”
