Pierre Gasly’s name has started to come up in the Formula One silly season rumor mill as McLaren and Alpine wait to hear about the ruling on Oscar Piastri’s situation from the Contract Recognition Board.
Over the past week, a clip from Ferrari’s Belgian Grand Prix review video started making its rounds on social media of Gasly, Charles Leclerc and George Russell talking while heading to the drivers’ parade. The Frenchman can clearly be heard saying, “I’m still working on the final details of the contract.”
This kicked off widespread speculation that the AlphaTauri driver may have been discussing a possible Alpine deal. Sky Sports News reported earlier this week that Alpine “made enquiries” about the Frenchman with Red Bull. However, Gasly did confirm earlier this season that he would race for AlphaTauri in 2023.
