Pierre Gasly has had an excellent season at AlphaTauri. The Frenchman finished ninth in the World Championship with 110 points, 78 points more than his teammate Yuki Tsunoda. In the future, he, therefore, hopes for another chance at Red Bull Racing.

After the departure of Daniel Ricciardo, the Austrian racing team decided to give him a chance next to Max Verstappen. In a year and a half, Gasly didn't manage to show his qualities to Red Bull, so the team decided to replace him with Alexander Albon in the middle of the season.

Gasly hopes for chances at Red Bull

Gasly didn't let that get him down, however, as he developed into a reliable driver for AlphaTauri. This season was particularly strong for the Frenchman. During the summer he hinted at a return to Red Bull, but they decided to go ahead with Sergio Perez. Although he regrets it Gasly has no choice but to accept the situation. He tells that in conversation with Motorsport-magazin.com.

"You have Checo doing well alongside Max and helping him in the championship," commented Gasly, who is hoping for another chance. "At the moment it's not clear on their side. Because they have Max, of course. He's number one in the company, that's normal. He's doing an extraordinary job and has been doing incredibly well there for five years."
