After nine years with Red Bull, a factory drive elsewhere was too good a chance to pass up for Pierre Gasly. From Formula_Nerds F1
It was time for a change
The 2022 season marks Gasly’s sixth with Red Bull-affiliated teams. While driving for Toro Rosso/AlphaTauri and Red Bull Racing, the French driver has had 50-point scoring finishes, three podiums, and one victory, so far.“It’s obviously a big move for me. I’ve been with Red Bull for nine years, pretty much my entire career with them. It definitely feels like closing a chapter and starting on a new journey. To me, I must say, it felt natural and very quickly the right decision to take.
He continues, “for me, it’s also the right time to take off on my own, grab this opportunity with a manufacturer.” AlphaTauri also has the nickname of it being a ‘finishing school’ for future Red Bull drivers. Taking into account Gasly’s previous chance with the senior team perhaps leaving is his only chance to race for a manufacturer again.Throughout the interview, Gasly reiterates how Alpine fought for him to join the team.
“That was definitely one of the most important, let’s say, criteria for me, which made it very clear for me that I should go there, is how strong their will was to get me out of Red Bull and to get me in that car.”
