Pierre Gasly (French pronunciation: [pjɛʁ ɡasli]; born 7 February 1996 in Rouen) is a French racing driver, currently racing in Formula One for Scuderia Toro Rosso. He was the 2016 GP2 Series champion, and the runner-up in the 2014 Formula Renault 3.5 Series and the 2017 Super Formula Championship. He made his Formula One début at the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix.[2]
Career
Karting
Gasly entered karting in 2006, when he finished fifteenth in the French Minime Championship,[3] before he finished fourth the following year.[4] In 2008 he stepped up to the French Cadet Championship,[5] before moving to the international scene in 2009. He moved into the KF3 category, staying until the end of 2010, when he finished as runner-up in the CIK-FIA European Championship.[6]
Formula Renault
In 2011, Gasly made his début in single-seaters, taking part in the French F4 Championship 1.6-litre category.[7] He finished third behind his future Eurocup rivals Matthieu Vaxivière and Andrea Pizzitola with seven podiums, including wins at Spa, Albi and Le Castellet.[8]
Gasly moved to the 2-litre Formula Renault machinery in 2012, joining R-Ace GP in the Formula Renault Eurocup.[9] He finished tenth with six-point-scoring finishes, including podiums at Spa and the Nürburgring.[10] He also had seven starts in the Formula Renault 2.0 Northern European Cup with the same team, taking a podium at the Nürburgring.
For 2013, Gasly moved to Tech 1 Racing.[11] He took five podiums, as well as victories at Moscow, the Hungaroring and Le Castellet.[6][12] He held an eleven-point lead over Oliver Rowland into the final meeting at Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya, and ultimately clinched the title with third and sixth place finishes; the latter result coming after a collision with Rowland, who received a drive-through penalty as a result.[13]
The driver jumped to Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2014, where he was hired by Arden under the Red Bull Junior Team development program. He finished season as runner-up to another Red Bull Junior Carlos Sainz Jr., collecting eight podiums in the seventeen races.
GP2 Series
Gasly made his GP2 Series debut in 2014 at Monza circuit in support of Italian Grand Prix, replacing Caterham Racing driver Tom Dillmann who had commitments at other racing series and was unable to participate in GP2 Series races for that weekend.[14] He then partook in post-season testing, driving for DAMS and on 8 January 2015 signed with the French team to race alongside the British driver Alex Lynn, development driver of Williams F1 Team.[15] Though taking three pole positions and four podiums, Gasly experienced an uneven season, including causing collisions in Bahrain, Spa and Yas Marina (which got the subsequent race cancelled), which saw him finish eighth, two places behind teammate Lynn.
In January 2016, it was announced Gasly would switch to newcomers Prema Powerteam alongside 2015 European Formula 3 runner-up and GP2 rookie Antonio Giovinazzi. He would go on to become the GP2 Series champion that season.
Formula One
On 30 September 2015, Gasly was announced as reserve driver for Red Bull Racing.[16][17]
Toro Rosso (2017-)
On 26 September 2017, Toro Rosso announced that Gasly would make his Formula One race début at the Malaysian Grand Prix, replacing Daniil Kvyat for a number of races.[2] He finished the Malaysian and Japanese Grands Prix outside the points. Gasly was expected to take Carlos Sainz Jr.'s seat at Austin but he was forced to miss the race due to clash with the final round of the 2017 Super Formula Championship.[18]
Toro Rosso decided to keep Gasly for the 2018 season, alongside fellow newcomer Brendon Hartley. In the Bahrain Grand Prix, Gasly qualified sixth, but promoted to fifth after Lewis Hamilton's penalty. He eventually finished the race in fourth place, earning his first points finish in Formula One.[19] A week later, he crashed into teammate Hartley in what the two confessed as being a 'miscommunication'.[20]
Japanese Super Formula
In February 2017, Gasly was announced to join Team Mugen to drive a Red Bull-sponsored Honda at the 2017 Super Formula Championship.[21]
Formula E
In July 2017, Renault e.Dams confirmed that Gasly would replace Sébastien Buemi for the New York ePrix, due to the latter's commitments to the World Endurance Championship.[22] In the weekend's first race, Gasly recovered from a poor qualifying performance of 19th to finish seventh in his debut race.[23] Gasly nearly finished on the podium in the second race, hitting the wall on the exit of the final corner while battling for third and limping across the finish line with major damage in fourth.[24]
