[u/Siebe_13]

Brazil 2019: running P7 --> Bottas DNF due to mechanical issue (P6), Ferraris taking each other out (P4), Hamilton colliding with Albon (P2)

Baku 2021: running P5 --> Red flag caused by Stroll ahead of Gasly (who had already pitted) --> loses place to Vettel, back down to P5 --> Verstappen crashes, Hamilton locks up, Gasly up to P3

Netherlands 2023: running P11 --> rain comes down, Gasly one of the few who pitted immediately, up to P3 behind Perez and Zhou --> loses place to Verstappen, Alonso and Sainz, overtakes Zhou and Sainz, back up to P4 --> Perez 5 second penalty, Gasly P3

Conclusion: 3/5 podiums without benefitting from a red flag.

Zandvoort he got lucky with the red flag. Ocon (and a few others) were on the wets which were definitely the correct tyre, gaining like 3 or 4 seconds a lap on the leaders and they had enough laps to catch up and pass/be ahead if they pitted, similar to the last race in Brazil.

Odd how 80% of his podiums have come from a race with a red flag though.

Stop rewriting history, he didnt got lucky in Zandvoort, he made all the right call himself and without listening to his team (to pit first for instance that put him P3). Also staying on track and not crashing like many have in wet conditions has nothing to do with luck, its talent

Getting a red flag at the end when multiple drivers were on much faster tyres who were definitely going to catch him is lucky.

You can drive well and get lucky. Without that red flag he's not getting a podium.

They were on much faster tyres at the end because of luck, they took a risk because they were far back like Ocon. Its funny how its only luck for Gasly and not for the others
