Lauren Rossi, CEO of Alpine, has full faith in Pierre Gasley. After a summer in which they lost Fernando Alonso in days, who preferred go to Aston Martin, like Oscar Piastri, now at McLaren, the Frenchmen began a casting of more than a dozen pilots to finally choose the favorite in the initial pools.
And now they do not stop transmitting all their confidence to the ex of AlphaTauri. A rider with whom they hope they can surpass what they have done this season, where they finished fourth in the World Championship, and be able to get as close as possible to the biggest on the Formula 1 World Championship grid as soon as possible.
“Hopefully his arrival gives us what we need. It is key to continue developing the car. We must take a step forward, because We’re still in the middle zone,” says Rossi on ‘GPFans’.
The one from Alpine is clear about it with Gasly: ”You have to have a rider who goes fast, who scores points… and take us to the next level.”
“He has been a technical leader at AlphaTauri over the years and we want to keep it that way at Alpine. May he help us grow, and may he do it. May we reach a new level together,” says Rossi.
Because the Frenchman has been the leader of Red Bull’s ‘B team’ for a long time: “He has to be able to give the team good information.”
“This way we will go in the right direction, and the car will be better. I think it is that will give us his signing”, sentences the one from Alpine.
