Gasly joined the French marque at the start of the last season, achieving 67 points over that 18-month period including a third-placed finish in the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix Sprint and third in the Dutch GP later that campaign.

Alpine had been pushing to lock-in Gasly’s signature following their decision to part ways with his team-mate Esteban Ocon at the end of this season.

Gasly stated: “I feel very much at home at this great team. I enjoy being a real part of both the Formula 1 project and the wider Alpine Cars vision. I’ve been officially here for over 18 months, and it has always been the plan to build a long-term project with the Team. While on-track it’s been a challenging season so far, I remain faithful to the project, and I am not going anywhere. I am happy with the changes made, the hard work, and the direction the team is taking. There is a lot of potential in this team’s personnel and resources. I’m excited for what is to come in the future and right now I’m focusing on the everyday details that we are putting in to improve our performances.” Gasly concluded. Credit to Alpine for the quote.

Team Principal Bruno Famin added:

“The extension of Pierre’s contract with the team is very pleasing. He is a driver with huge experience in Formula 1 and continues to show huge amounts of potential on-track. For Alpine as a brand, he is a great ambassador, and we therefore look forward to continuing our collaboration. While this is important for our future, we do have to keep our eyes close to what is coming and that is focusing on improving our current package. We have high ambitions this current season and we will work tirelessly to achieve those things. We will take our time in deciding Pierre’s team-mate and we are excited with the options we have on the table.” Famin concluded. Credit to Alpine for the quote.

The French-marque are currently chasing Ferrari’s Carlos Sainz to become Gasly’s team-mate, but it is believed that the Spaniard’s future is still undecided.

Should Sainz choose to drive for another team, Alpine do still have options available to them. They are considering promotion of reserve driver Jack Doohan, or it’s academy driver Viktor Martins, or going for the experience option and signing someone like 10-time Grand Prix winner Valtteri Bottas.
