The future of Pierre Gasly is perhaps not blocked at Red Bull. However, the story between the Norman and the Austrian team has not always been easy. Ousted after 12 Grand Prix in 2019, the native of Rouen had to rebuild himself mentally at Toro Rosso, today AlphaTauri. For almost two years, the Frenchman has shown, race after race, all his qualities as a driver, culminating in his victory at Monza last year. 

This summer, during the transfer window of F1, the name of Pierre Gasly has been circulating, to support Max Verstappen in 2023. To his great dismay, Sergio Pérez returned for another year, thus returning the tricolor to Red Bull's little sister. “Obviously it's a little disappointment for me because that's where I want to be, admitted the Frenchman. I want to have a fast car. » Frustrated, the AlphaTauri driver wonders if Red Bull has not forgotten him. But the Austrian team still watches over its protégé. As evidenced by the compliments of team manager Christian Horner: “ He is still young and he is doing very good work with AlphaTauri. These ambitions have been on the rise for two seasons ».

In 2023, the second seat will be free again and Pierre Gasly will certainly be one of the contenders. The team director does not hide that the Norman is one of the possible choices: “ There remains one Red Bull driver on loan to AlphaTauri. For 2023, we have several options and that's what we wanted ». These words should encourage the Frenchman as the Russian GP approaches. Pierre Gasly must continue to work, as he is currently doing at the Faenza team, to be able to get back into a car capable of winning.
