Gasly is Red Bull's coming man on the junior single-seater scene - a champion of Formula Renault 2.0, runner-up to Carlos Sainz Jr in the 2014 Formula Renault 3.5 championship as a rookie, and a serious title contender in GP2 this season. But his most likely route into F1 next year has now been blocked off.
