Pierre Gasly remains at Alpine for a third consecutive F1 campaign in 2025.
After a slow start to the season for Alpine, Gasly’s performances were elevated by the French manufacturer’s late-season improvement. Alongside Esteban Ocon, the pair both finished on the podium at the São Paulo Grand Prix, propelling them up to sixth in the constructors’ standings.
Gasly has rebuilt his F1 career since leaving Red Bull in the middle of 2019. The Frenchman was promoted to the main team after a strong 18-month stint at Toro Rosso.
However, rumours of Gasly having a fall-out with Adrian Newey, combined with his abysmal on-track displays, meant he was switched with Alex Albon for the remainder of 2019.
Gasly flourished at AlphaTauri, taking a shock win at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix ahead of Carlos Sainz. He also enjoyed a fine 2021 campaign, finishing on the podium in Azerbaijan.
Despite his strong performances, Red Bull refused to give him a second opportunity at the senior team, sticking with Sergio Pérez despite the Mexican’s inconsistent run of performances.
Gasly opted to join Alpine after a seat opened up following the Oscar Piastri contract fiasco. The 28-year-old slowly gained momentum at Alpine, with the team appearing to favour him over Esteban Ocon, who decided to leave for Haas in 2025.
