AlphaTauri has confirmed Pierre Gasly’s contract for the 2021 season. Thus, the previously said words of Helmut Marko and Christian Horner that Gasley will remain in the team are now officially confirmed. The name of Pierre’s partner will be announced later.
Franz Toast, Team Leader: “I am delighted that Pierre will stay with us in 2021. For many years he was a member of the Red Bull program, and I hope that he will be in the Red Bull family for more than one season.
Last year he returned to our team, after which he consistently showed very high results, having climbed to the podium twice: he took second place in Brazil in 2019, and this year he won the Italian Grand Prix, the home race for AlphaTauri.
Pierre has proven himself to be a high-end professional, thanks in part to his racing prowess, his ability to maximize the potential of the car in every race and provide valuable feedback to the engineers.
He has good psychological preparation, he is always motivated, and when he sets a goal for himself, he does his best to achieve it. I welcome the continuation of our cooperation and hope that in 2021 we will have a successful season. ”
Pierre Gasly: “I am very happy to extend our partnership with AlphaTauri for another season! This year is going well – the team is having the most successful season in its history. We have an excellent working relationship and together with the team we use all the opportunities provided, as it was at the Italian Grand Prix.
My first victory in Formula 1 at Monza is a special moment, and I am very proud to have won the second race for the team in its history. I do my best to push the team forward and take full responsibility for leading the team.
I am ready for the challenges of next season and the continued partnership with AlphaTauri, a premium apparel brand and racing team. We will continue to work to achieve even greater success in the future. “
