Saturday, 8 October 2022
The French driver completes the team's lineup.
Pierre Gasly will be joining the BWT Alpine F1 Team for the 2023 season on a multi-year contract.
Gasly will complete an all-French driver lineup at the team as he sits alongside teammate Esteban Ocon for a least two seasons.
Gasly will finish up with AlphaTauri after nine years in the Red Bull program, scoring one Grand Prix win and multiple podiums for Formula 1®.
The 26-year-old made his Formula 1 debut in 2017 with Scuderia Toro Rosso following his 2016 GP2 Series championship title. He moved to World Champions Red Bull Racing before returning to Toro Rosso where he took his maiden victory at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix while driving for AlphaTauri.
Gasly is delighted to start a new chapter in the sport: "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."
"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 utilise all my experience to fight for podiums and ultimately contribute to Alpine's fight for championships in the future."
