Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly has signed a multi-year contract extension with the Alpine team, solidifying his position with the French-owned outfit through the 2025 season and beyond. The announcement marks a remarkable milestone in Gasly’s career, as he enters his second season with the team.
Despite a challenging start to the current campaign, Gasly has demonstrated his resilience by scoring points in the past three races leading up to the Austrian Grand Prix.
His impressive performance last season saw him finish 11th in the drivers’ standings with a third-place finish at the Netherlands GP, a testament to his skill and dedication.
Gasly’s commitment to the team indicates his faith in the project, despite the challenges faced this season. He has expressed his enthusiasm for the team’s direction and the changes made to improve performance.
The contract extension comes as Gasly’s teammate, Esteban Ocon, prepares to depart Alpine at the end of the season. The team is expected to announce Ocon’s replacement soon, with rumors circulating about a potential signing of Carlos Sainz. Gasly’s history with Ocon has been marked by tension, including a collision at the Monaco GP last month.
With 140 races under his belt and four podium finishes, including a victory at the Italian GP in 2020, Gasly has proven himself to be a formidable driver. His continued partnership with Alpine is a serious development in the field of Formula 1.
