Toro Rosso debutant Pierre Gasly believes he was well prepared for his first-ever Formula One qualifying session following years of "massive" pressure placed on him by Red Bull.
Gasly replaced Daniil Kvyat at Toro Rosso ahead of this weekend's Malaysian Grand Prix and got within 0.15s of Carlos Sainz on his way to qualifying 15th, one place behind his teammate.
The 2016 GP2 champion joined the Red Bull junior programme in 2013 following his title triumph in Formula Renault Eurocup, and has gone on to win races in Formula Renault 3.5 as well as Japan's Super Formula, a series he currently sits second in.
