Pierre Gasly believes that Alpine is capable of delivering the machinery that will enable him to fulfil his ultimate ambition
Alpine’s performance in the 2022 season did not live up to the promising start under the new ground effect regulations, with a fall to sixth place in the Constructors’ Championship last year. Pierre Gasly, in his first F1 season outside of Red Bull, showcased his talent by outscoring his teammate Esteban Ocon 62 to 58 points. Gasly, previously demoted from Red Bull in 2019, is determined to show his full potential and aims for success with Alpine. Despite a Mercedes seat opening up in 2025 due to Lewis Hamilton’s move to Ferrari, Gasly believes in Alpine’s potential to meet his ambitions. Discussions for contract extensions with Gasly and Ocon have begun, as confirmed by Alpine’s Team Principal Bruno Famin at the launch of the 2024 car. Gasly remains focused on his driving, aiming to bring Alpine to the forefront with the hard work of the team as he strives for wins and podium finishes.
