Three years ago, Pierre Gasly sounded the Marseillaise in Monza

He wanted to prolong the pleasure as long as possible, to take advantage of these precious moments which always pass too quickly. He stood out in São Paulo (Brazil) last year after scoring his first podium in F1 at the end of a breathtaking finale, already. Sitting on the roof of the world, drenched in sweat and champagne, confetti in the colors of Italy stuck to his skin, he took the time to savor, spoke a few words to each other as if to convince himself that all this was good real, and let the emotions invade him. “I didn’t want to leave,” he confided later. Because you never know how many times you will be able to savor these kinds of moments. A lot of things were going through my mind. I first thought of my family, my brothers, my friends, all those who have always supported and encouraged me. And then you also remember all the stages you went through. I also imagined the fans who should have been there, under the podium. I feel like I've been on a roller coaster the last few months. I have difficulty realizing and finding the words. »
