Pierre Gasly, born on February 7, 1996 in Rouen, is a French Formula 1 driver who races for Alpine. His teammate in 2026 is Franco Colapinto.

Pierre Gasly made his Formula 1 debut with Toro Rosso in 2017, following his time in GP2 and Super Formula. He initially raced alongside Carlos Sainz, who later moved to Renault, after which Brendon Hartley became his teammate.

In 2018, Gasly impressed with a fourth-place finish in Bahrain. His performances earned him a promotion to Red Bull Racing in 2019, where he partnered Max Verstappen.

Alpine has invested heavily in its 2026 car. The new regulations bring major changes to both chassis and power units.

The team has also switched from Renault engines to Mercedes power. If the chassis proves competitive, Gasly could return to fighting higher up the grid.

Ahead of the 2025 season, Gasly was positive about Alpine’s prospects. However, the team made it clear early on that the focus was on developing the 2026 car.

Gasly scored points only six times during the season, with a best result of sixth place at Silverstone. He had two teammates during the year, as Jack Doohan was replaced by Franco Colapinto after six races. Neither teammate scored points.

Alpine finished last in the constructors’ championship, well behind the rest of the field.

Gasly’s time at Red Bull was short and difficult. He struggled to match Verstappen’s pace and was demoted mid-season.

Back at Toro Rosso, later AlphaTauri, he rebuilt his reputation. In 2020, he took his first Formula 1 victory at Monza and finished tenth in the championship.

In 2021, alongside Yuki Tsunoda, he established himself as a consistent performer, which led to a contract extension. In 2023, he moved to Alpine to partner Esteban Ocon.

Gasly and Tsunoda were teammates from 2021 onward at AlphaTauri. Over three seasons, Gasly consistently outperformed the Japanese driver in both qualifying and races.

Gasly and Esteban Ocon grew up racing together in Normandy and competed against each other from karting onwards. Their relationship was strained for years.

When Alpine paired them together, both stated that past issues were resolved. While that seemed largely true, there were still occasional on-track tensions. It remains unclear whether this played a role in Ocon’s departure at the end of 2024.

Pierre Gasly was born on February 7, 1996 in Rouen, France. He is 30 years old in 2026, holds French nationality, and is 1.77 metres tall, weighing 70 kilograms.

Since 2022, Gasly has been in a relationship with Portuguese model Kika Gomes. The couple was first seen together at the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix in 2022.

Gasly’s net worth is estimated at around €28 million. Under his Alpine contract, he earns approximately €10 million per year.
