Born on 7 February 1996 in Rouen, France, Pierre Gasly began karting at age 10 and quickly climbed through the junior single-seater ranks—claiming the 2013 Formula Renault Eurocup and the 2016 GP2 Series with Prema. He made his Formula 1 debut in 2017 with Toro Rosso and became the youngest French driver to reach a podium that same season in Brazil. Gasly’s breakout achievement came with his first Grand Prix win at Monza in 2020, delivering a fairy-tale moment for himself and AlphaTauri—the first French victory in F1 since 1996. Since moving to Alpine in 2023, Gasly has remained a vital part of the midfield, consistently scoring strong results, including podium finishes in Zandvoort (2023) and São Paulo (2024). A master of reading race dynamics, Gasly has earned a reputation for consistency, adaptability, and capitalizing on key race moments—even in less competitive machinery.
