Pierre Gasly moved to ease fears that Alpine might have another driver feud on its hands in 2023.
This year has already provided enough intra-team arguments for team boss Otmar Szafnauer to deal with. Things between Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso came to a head in Brazil last month, as they clashed during the Sprint race before the Spaniard declared he could not wait to leave for Aston Martin at the end of the season.
Replacing Alonso is Gasly, who has left the Red Bull stable for a fresh start with Alpine. While an all-French driver lineup is appealing to the Renault-backed team, there have been some concerns pointed out over the relationship between the two racers.
