Pierre Gasly has slammed𝓰 suggestions that he could be replaced at Red Bull by Nico Hulke൲nberg for the 2020 season, calling them “bullshit” and “bad journalism”.

Gasly joined Red Bull for 2019 after stepping up from Toro Rosso, but 𒈔has struggled to match teammate Max Verstappen for pace through the opening six races of the year. While Verstappen already has two podiums to his name, Gasly is yet to finish any higher than fifth or beat his teammate in either qualify✅ing or the race.

suggesting Renault driver Hulkenberg had been sounded out by Red Bull ad⛄visor Helmut Marko as a possible rep🔥lacement for Gasly if he did not improve his performances.

Marko later told Auto Bild that the report&nb🐭sp;w💮as “nonsense”, with Gasly offering a similarly-dismissive response when asked about the rumours in Canada on Thursday.

“We call each other every week, so after each race, we’re on the phone together. He called me🔯 before just 💫to sort everything out,” Gasly said.

“Honestly, I don’t want to waste any time wi☂th this kind of bullshit. I have more important things to take care of like my job, my family, my friends.

“For me, bullshit l🌄ike this is just bad jo♈urnalism. I don’t want to comment any more about this.”

“He’s been really supportive. He knows everything that happens inside thඣe team,” Gasly said.

“I think he has been really good so far.”
