Currently and since he was demoted from the energy drink team, Pierre Gasly drives for AlphaTauri (formerly known as Toro Rosso), however, his contract with Red Bull expires at the end of 2023, and the heads of the Austrian structure have repeated on several occasions that they will let him out if they cannot offer him a seat in the first team.
In 2019, the French driver had the chance to team up with Max Verstappen, but because he didn’t get the expected results, couldn’t even get on the podium for more than half a season, he was relegated back to Toro Rosso.
Now, Pierre Gasly is clearly one of the strongest drivers in the midfield of the top flight grid, however, his prospects for the possibility of returning to the energy drink team are not very positive.
“You need all the political and financial factors to come together at the right time,” explained the French pilot on Canal + France . “I got the opportunity after my first full season, when I was much younger than I am now.”
“Then I was far from the current level, and yet they called me. So, I continue to do my job and I think that if I maintain the level of the last few years, I will get an invitation again.”
“The experience of being part of the Formula 1 grid gave me a clear idea of what I want, what I need and what I expect from the team. I have become stronger and that also gives you confidence.”
“I’ve never had a problem with speed. But in F1 it’s not enough to be fast, you also have to know how to inspire the team to make sure everyone is working towards the same goal.”
“My approach to work has evolved significantly over the last few years. It is clear that this season I will not be a champion. But in two or three years, such an opportunity may appear. That is why it is important for me to constantly demonstrate my potential.” Gasly , AlphaTauri pilot.
