Add to that the fact a) the car is completely built around Verstappen, b) in Austria in the race Gasly didn't have the aero upgrades Max had (and seemed to be very effective in addressing the aero issues with the car) and finally c) didn't have the Honda turned to 11.

Apart from that, anyone next to Verstappen will look somewhat worse than before. Last year Gasly performances were actually quite good. Maybe a 7 then.
As I was saying:
