F1 fans have delivered a striking verdict on who they believe will be team-mate to Pierre Gasly at Alpine next season.
A surprise decision has been made on Pierre Gasly’s Alpine partner for the 2025 F1 season. The French team is in a transitional phase, with Oliver Oakes expected to take Enstone’s helm after the summer break. Reports suggest Jack Doohan will fill the second driver slot, but fans have suggested Valtteri Bottas or Zhou Guanyu. Liam Lawson and Isack Hadjar could also join due to Oakes’ Red Bull connections. In a RacingNews365 poll, almost 80% chose Zhou as the likely Alpine driver for next year, given his financial support and ties to the team.
