Pierre Gasly made his Formula 1 debut with Toro Rosso in 2017, stepping in for Daniil Kvyat late in the season. He became a full-time driver in 2018 and earned a promotion to Red Bull Racing in 2019, though he returned to Toro Rosso mid-season.
Born in Rouen, France, in 1996, Gasly began karting at age 10 and rose through the French and European junior ranks. He won the 2013 Formula Renault Eurocup and claimed the 2016 GP2 Series title before serving as a reserve driver for Red Bull and Toro Rosso.
Gasly’s career highlight came at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix in Monza, where he claimed his maiden F1 victory for AlphaTauri — the first French winner in 24 years. He added multiple podiums and became known for extracting strong results from midfield machinery.
In 2023, Gasly joined Alpine, scoring a podium in his first season with the team. By 2025, he remained a key part of Alpine’s plans, combining race-winning experience with proven speed in qualifying and race trim.
