Pierre Gasl♍y concedes driver error led to one of the “biggest 🐷crashes” of his Formula 1 career so far on the penultimate day of pre-season testing. 

The Red Bull💎 driver was on his 66th lap when he lost control of his RB15 and slammed into the barriers at the fast right-ha൲nder of Turn 9.  

Gasly appeared to to🤪uch the grass on the left-hand side of the track as he entered the corner, sending him spinning out of control rearwards into a hefty impact. 

While he emerged from his wrecked car unharmed, extensive damage brought a premature end to his final day in Red Bull💙’s 2019 chal𒐪lenger ahead of the start of the new season. 

“🅠I made a mistake in Turn 9 and basically lost the car,” Gasly admitted. 

“It was a pr🐷etty big crash, one of the biggest crasheﷺs I had so far.

“It will be a long night for the mechanics, [so I am] sorry💖 for them, most important is we can get Max in the🏅 car tomorrow. 

“Focusing🌜 on the positives - we managed to do a lot of testing and things to analyse.”&nbs꧑p;

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner added: "Pierre's pre-season test comes𒁃 to an end in Barcelona with an un🌌fortunate off this afternoon.

"These things ♏happen and the main thing is that he is ok  We will be back on track tomorrow to make the most of our last day 🍌of running before Melbourne."

Gasly ended the day with the fourth-fastest tim💙e, though he was unable to get close the eye-catching pace managed by Ferrari’s Charles Lecle🦄rc. 

Asked if he felt he could have matched or bettered the quickest time set in testing so far, Gasly𒉰 replied: “Honestly no. 

“To be fair I think they are really fas🤡t, they show some good pace, try to focus on ourselves and not focus too much on🦄 the others. 

“We have some potential, we tested a lotꦐ of things, we have good performance, but we have to work hard a๊s well as they seem really fast."
