Gasly and Marko in conversation: what is being discussed here?

Gasly was hoping to sit next to Max Verstappen in 2023, but Marko and Christian Horner preferred to extend Sergio Perez's contract. They did so not by one year, but even by two years. It means that Gasly will not start racing for Red Bull Racing until 2025 at the earliest.

The talented Frenchman's contract at AlphaTauri expires after 2023. He has never made a secret of the fact that he considers himself ripe for a step up. However, Marko knows that next season there aren't really any spots that will be available that are better than AlphaTauri. Red Bull hopes Gasly stays, although they will no doubt understand that Gasly is not happy with Perez's new two-year commitment.
