F1 – the rise of Pierre Gasly

Pierre Gasly’s GP2 series championship victory in 2016 became the springboard for his entry into F1 with Toro Rosso. Now, two years later, the Frenchman has made the step up from promising Red Bull junior to driving for the senior Red Bull Racing team.

Lining up against long time friend and former rival Max Verstappen on the 2019 F1 grid, Gasly is preparing to convert his great promise into podiums, wins and ultimately an F1 championship.

Our friends at Mobil 1 The Grid spoke to Gasly ahead of the start of winter testing to discuss his elevation to the senior team and his hopes for the season ahead.
