Gasly felt ‘caged’ by 2020 F1 restrictions

Pierre Gasly is looking forward to seeing family and friends over the winter, saying he felt “caged” racing in Formula 1 in 2020.
The series introduced strict COVID-19 protocols and regular testing in order to complete the 17-race 2020 season, and ultimately it worked with the calendar being completed in full.
Ultimately though Sergio Perez was forced to miss both races in Britain after testing positive, while Lewis Hamilton missed the Sakhir Grand Prix for the same reason.
Lance Stroll also tested positive for COVID-19 after returning home from the Eifel Grand Prix.
So it’s safe to say 2020 has been a lonely experience for Formula 1 personnel, and now Gasly is looking forward to spending time with his friends and family, responsibly, after feeling like he was in a “cage” throughout the season.

The 2020 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix was another drab affair, but Ocon thinks adding a bit of positive camber to the corners would allow drivers to take different lines, and in turn attempt more overtakes.
