BEYOND THE GRID: Pierre Gasly on trusting the Alpine process, his ambitious victory target and life outside F1

Pierre Gasly has just embarked on his third season at Alpine, and his eighth full term in F1, with the Frenchman hungrier than ever to win races and fight for championship glory – as he emphasises on this week’s episode of Beyond The Grid.

In a return to the podcast, and a wide-ranging chat about life on and off the track, Gasly tells host Tom Clarkson about the faith he has in Alpine and their leaders, Team Principal Oliver Oakes and Executive Advisor Flavio Briatore.

He also shares his bold target of winning a race during the 2025 campaign, even if next year’s major rule changes should provide a bigger opportunity for the Enstone-based squad to shoot up the grid and cause an upset.

Other topics of conversation include Gasly’s team mates, Jack Doohan and Franco Colapinto, his fitness goals, his desire to win anything he takes part in (including online chess), and his off-track investment in French football team FC Versailles.
