Pierre Gasly Commits Long-term to Alpine

Today during the weekend of the Italian Grand Prix in Monza, BWT Alpine Formula One Team have announced that Pierre Gasly has committed his long-term future to the team by extending his contract to the end of the 2028 FIA Formula One World Championship season.

The deal reaffirms Pierre’s commitment to BWT Alpine Formula One Team and cements Alpine’s belief in Pierre as the driver to lead the team into the new regulation era in 2026 and beyond, under the leadership of Flavio Briatore and with the full backing of Renault Group led by new CEO François Provost.

The extended contract will take Pierre through six seasons with the team which he joined ahead of the 2023 Formula One season.

Pierre’s performance on track and growing status in the Formula One Paddock has constantly evolved showing speed, consistency, and leadership. He has achieved two podiums so far with the team at the 2023 Dutch Grand Prix and 2024 São Paulo Grand Prix and played a key role in helping the team achieve sixth place in the Constructor’s Championship last season.

Pierre Gasly: “I’m thrilled to commit my long-term future to Alpine. As a Frenchman, especially, driving for a French car company, makes me feel very proud. Since I joined in 2023, I have always felt that this team is the right place to be for the future. Flavio’s [Briatore] support and belief in me, François’ [Provost] commitment to the Formula One project, as well as the people we have in Enstone made this a natural decision and I want to be here in years to come and deliver on our joint objective: to win races and world championships. We’re all in this together and I look forward to continuing this special story.”

Flavio Briatore: “Since I returned to the team, I have always stated how important it is to build and grow the competitiveness of BWT Alpine Formula One Team. We’re well prepared for the new era of Formula One, beginning in 2026, and now we have our lead driver confirmed to bring us well into the future. Pierre has been an immense asset for the team during this challenging period. I have been very impressed with his attitude, dedication and talent and we look forward to continuing this project together for a long time.”
