Pierre Gasly’s future inside Alpine in Formula 1
Alpine extended Pierre Gasly’s contract until 2028a decision that Provost described as “a very positive sign.” The French pilot became a pillar of the project, while the team prepares for the new regulatory era. Gasly is the only pilot who has added points for Alpine in 2025, with a total of 20 units that place the team in the last place of the Construction Championship.
The team stopped the development of the current car (A525) to focus on the 2026 regulation. Steve Nielsen, new director of operations, and Flavio Briatore, in their role as an advisor, lead this transition. Provost avoided referring to Franco Colapinto’s situation and Jack Doohan, who alternated in the second car without achieving points.
