Pierre Gasly will join BWT Alpine F1 Team for the 2023 FIA Formula 1 World Championship season.
A Grand Prix winner, and with multiple podiums to match, Gasly blends ambition with real results and holds the necessary experience to progress the team. He will join the team on a multi-year contract.
“I am delighted to join the Alpine family and begin this new chapter in my Formula 1 career,” Gasly said. “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.
“I wish to thank Red Bull 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. Looking ahead, I want to give the maximum and utilize all my experience to fight for podiums and ultimately contribute to Alpine’s fight for championships in the future.”
Gasly, from Rouen in Normandy, France, completes Alpine’s all-French line-up alongside Esteban Ocon, the first in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship since 1995.
