Pierre Gasly wants Alpine to be looking forward, not merely being content with staying at the front of the F1 midfield.
Pierre Gasly emphasized Alpine’s need to target closing the gap to Red Bull and McLaren rather than solely focusing on cementing their position in the midfield battle. Gasly’s impressive performance at the Japanese Grand Prix, where he held off Max Verstappen, showcased his ambition to strive for more than just midfield honors. He highlighted the competitiveness of teams like Haas and Racing Bulls but expressed a desire to challenge the frontrunners.
Gasly’s motivating leadership has played a crucial role in Alpine’s turnaround in the 2026 season, securing 16 points in the constructors’ championship and currently equaling Red Bull’s standing. The team’s switch to Mercedes power units and focus on new technical regulations have been instrumental in their success. Gasly’s hunger for more success in Formula 1 pushes him to reach beyond midfield battles and aspire to compete for titles, reflecting his unwavering commitment to continuous improvement and progress.
