Pierre Gasly

17Pierre Gasly (born 7 February 1996) is a French racing driver. After winning GP2 with Prema, Gasly made his debut as a replacement driver for Toro Rosso and in 2018 he became a main driver. After impressing the team with a best result of 4th and consistent pace, he was promoted to Red Bull in 2019. However, he was unable to deal with the pressure and was relegated to Toro Rosso in mid-season, with Alexander Albon being promoted. However, he scored his first podium in Brazil 2019 with a 2nd place. He stayed with the team, now called Alpha Tauri for Formula Earth's inaugural season until 2021. In 2022, he moved to BMW Williams, hoping to push the historic British team back to glory. In 2023 and 2024 he enjoyed his best seasons with the team, beating the rest of the lower midfield by a considerable margin and actually even beating Ferrari's Daniel Ricciardo in 2024. However, in the later seasons he faded away, due to the team's decline. He raced in 2027 for Audi before returning to BMW Williams, where he would race from 2028 to 2029, but with the team now in life support, he failed to score points. He was left without a ride for 2030, but raced for 3 races once again for BMW Williams as a replacement for Glen Smith who was injured.
