Pierre Gasly is turning the page in his Formula One career.
The Frenchman will head over to Alpine in 2023 on a multi-year contract, filling the vacancy left by Fernando Alonso. This marks the first all-French lineup on the F1 grid since 1995 as Gasly will compete alongside Esteban Ocon. Nyck de Vries will replace Gasly next season, AlphaTauri confirmed.
“I am delighted to join the Alpine family and begin this new chapter in my Formula 1 career. Driving for a team that has French roots is something very special. I know the strengths of Alpine, having raced against them over the past couple of years and clearly, their progress and ambition is very impressive,” Gasly said in a statement. “I wish to thank RedBull as this marks the end of our 9-year journey together. It is thanks to their trust and support that I became a Formula 1 driver, and what we’ve achieved with Scuderia AlphaTauri over the last years has been very special.
