Pierre Gasly sheds light on ‘no support’ during painful Red Bull F1 demotion
Pierre Gasly has revealed the challenges he faced when he was Max Verstappen’s teammate at Red Bull for the 2019 F1 season. Despite being chosen as Daniel Ricciardo’s replacement, Gasly struggled and was demoted after just 12 races, scoring significantly fewer points than Verstappen.
Gasly returned to the Toro Rosso team while Alex Albon took his place at Red Bull. Gasly expressed his disappointment with the lack of support he received during his time at Red Bull, feeling he wasn’t given the tools to succeed.
Despite the difficulties, Gasly managed to revive his career and move to Alpine, where he has shown strong performances in the F1 midfield. In 2019, he claimed his first podium and later secured a remarkable victory at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix.
Although Alpine had a tough 2025 season, finishing last in the constructors’ championship, Gasly still managed to score 22 points, showcasing his talent and determination in difficult circumstances.
