Pierre Gasly
Junior Career
Gasly's path to Formula One showcased consistent excellence across multiple feeder series. His breakthrough came in 2014 when he finished as runner-up in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series, establishing himself as a serious prospect for the top level of motorsport.
The Frenchman's defining junior moment arrived in 2016 when he claimed the GP2 Series championship, the traditional final stepping stone to Formula One. This title victory opened the door to the pinnacle of motorsport and caught the attention of the Red Bull Racing programme.
Gasly continued to race in parallel series even after his F1 debut, finishing as runner-up in the 2017 Super Formula Championship in Japan, demonstrating his versatility and commitment to honing his craft across different racing disciplines.
Racing Career
Gasly made his Formula One debut with Toro Rosso at the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix, marking the beginning of his journey in the sport's highest category. His early performances in the junior Red Bull team caught the attention of the senior outfit.
Recognition of his talent came in 2019 when Red Bull Racing promoted him to their main team, partnering him with Max Verstappen. However, his stint with the senior team proved challenging, and he was moved back to Toro Rosso mid-season, trading places with Alexander Albon between the Hungarian and Belgian rounds.
Currently competing under the French flag for Alpine, Gasly continues to represent his nation in Formula One, bringing his experience from both Red Bull teams to his current role with the French manufacturer's Formula One programme.
