By now it is a familiar sight at the European circuits (and even beyond): the Max Verstappen grandstands. A completely orange crowd, which has travelled especially to cheer on the reigning world champion. Next season too, there will be stands all over the world for Verstappen fans.

Following

On television, it always looks beautiful, that sea of orange. It's logical that other drivers look in awe at Verstappen's fan base because the Dutchman's support is so huge that entire stands can even be filled with his fans.

Good example apparently follows. At Monaco, Charles Leclerc already had his own grandstand, with his most passionate supporters on it. Next season it is Pierre Gasly's turn to get his own grandstand as well. This will happen during the French Grand Prix at the Paul Ricard circuit. A place among the other fans of the AlphaTauri is already available for 270 euros.

Beautiful season

Gasly's fans undoubtedly hope for a great season for their hero. Last year, the Frenchman regularly surprised, especially with exceptional performances during qualifying. Gasly, who won at Monza in 2020, grabbed a podium spot in Azerbaijan.
