Asked ahead of the Brazilian Grand Prix whether the expected influx of Argentine fans would add pressure, Pierre Gasly said he had been in Formula 1 for ten years and joked that, after working with Helmut Marko, nothing else felt like pressure.

FIA president Mohammed Ben Sulayem had previously said Gasly received 13,000 death threats after an incident with his teammate Franco Colapinto during a race that season.

Gasly said he enjoys being challenged, focuses on what he needs to do and draws positive energy from the support he receives in Brazil. He said Argentinians can be found around the world but expected more in Brazil because Brazil is close to Argentina. Colapinto, he added, had described the Brazilian Grand Prix as the race that feels most like home for him.
