Which Alpine racer is poised to claim the runner-up position, alongside Gasly, in the approaching championship?
In an exciting turn of events, Formula One legend Flavio Briatore is making a comeback to Alpine, taking up the role of sporting leadership. This move comes as François Provost assumes the position of Renault CEO, offering his support to Alpine.
One key figure set to lead Alpine into the new era starting in 2026 is Pierre Gasly. The French driver, who joined Alpine in 2023, has secured two podium finishes, one at Zandvoort in 2023 and another in São Paulo in 2024. Briatore believes that Gasly is the right driver to lead Alpine in this new era, and he is satisfied with Gasly's decision to stay with the team.
Gasly himself is thrilled about his continued association with Alpine, stating that he considers it the right place for him. His commitment to the team is evident, as he has extended his contract until the end of the 2028 Formula 1 season. Briatore looks forward to continuing his collaboration with Gasly, praising his commitment, talent, and professionalism.
However, the second seat alongside Gasly remains vacant. Current occupant Franco Colapinto has not been meeting the expectations of the team's management, leading to the departure of Jack Doohan, who initially attempted to fill the position. Gabriel Bortoleto is Gasly's current teammate at Alpine.
Under the leadership of Briatore and Provost, Alpine aims to take the next step in development, with the ultimate goal of winning races and securing championships. Gasly shares this ambition, aiming to make a significant impact in the coming years.
As we look forward to the 2026 season, it's clear that Alpine is poised for a promising future with Briatore back at the helm and Gasly at the wheel. The team's dedication to development and Gasly's commitment to success promise an exciting chapter in the world of Formula One.
