Pierre Gasly is a Milanesa by adoption. Born in France in Rouen 24 years ago, the winner of the Monza GP has long lived between Porta Garibaldi and Central Station, in the heart of the new growing city: “In Italy I spent a lot of time in karts – he said in a recent interview with Gazzetta dello Sport – and I’ve come to appreciate your lifestyle. I have visited Rome and Naples and have often vacationed in the south. I like the family atmosphere that is breathed, the passionate people, the emotional charge ». From Milan love Brera and the Navigli (“Where I meet many of my colleagues for a drink or a pizza”), does not take position between Inter and Milan because it supports Psg (“I haven’t been to San Siro yet, I know some Rossoneri players”) and he still doesn’t know what the panettone is. A serious fault for a Milanese aspirant. But Gasly knows, as of today, what a victory in Formula 1 is, his first race, after a podium won last year in Brazil (second).
Next Generation
Typical representative of the so-called The «next generation» of Formula 1 Along with Charles Leclerc, Lando Norris and Antonio Giovinazzi, the Rouen boy grew up in Red Bull’s kindergarten and was promoted to F1 with Toro Rosso in 2017 replacing Kvyat. As a child, until the age of 11, he was a soccer promise. The Ligue 1 scouts had their eyes on him, but then the love for the ball deflated and the love for motors blossomed: “At one point I had to choose and the emotions I felt in the karts won out.” His idol is Senna: “I have seen all the documentaries and films about Ayrton, in the tracks I heard the stories of those who knew him, I was not even born when he died.” And then there is Michael Schumacher: “I saw him win everything with the Ferrari in front of the television and I said to my parents:” I want to be like him. ”
AlphaTauri
It’s not AlphaTauri’s first victory at Monza, actually: in 2008, when it was called Toro Rosso, under the flood it was Sebastian Vettel who accomplished the feat and made everyone understand that it was predestined. The team changed their name this year, borrowing it from a constellation, in honor of the fashion line that Red Bull is trying to launch (and which is still quite unknown to the general public), but the team remains the yes. himself, with an Italian base, in Faenza, heir to the historic Minardi. For 14 years, the Honda-powered Toro Rosso-AlphaTauri has been Red Bull’s satellite team, used by Helmut Marko to “wean” young drivers and test them out before moving on to the first team, sometimes with sudden climbs and ruthless descents. . , as Gasly himself could see: in 2017, as mentioned, he replaces Kvyat at Toro Rosso for the current season, then in 2019 he moves to the first team, at Red Bull, to replace Ricciardo alongside Verstappen, but in August, that’s Midseason, the sensational decision to send him back to the satellite team, in a trade with Albon. Now he has gotten a good revenge pending another promotion closer to this point.
