During the initial minutes of the episode, there comes a moment when the show focuses on Pierre Gasly and his teammate Yuki Tsunoda’s performances. At 6:00, we see someone from the paddock, probably a Red Bull official, call up Pierre and tell him that he “looks like Nico Rosberg”

To answer that, Gasly replies, “Yeah, I don’t know how to take that” and laughs. This shows that the Frenchman was, of course, puzzled by it. Was it a compliment? Was it a dig? We, as a viewer are also in doubt.
