Pierre Gasly made his Formula One debut in 2017 for the Toro Rosso team. He filled in for the ousted Daniil Kvyat for two races before Brendon Hartley replaced him in the United States. Later, when Carlos Sainz left for Renault, Gasly returned for the remainder of the season.
He made his full-time debut in 2018, alongside Kiwi teammate Hartley, for Toro Rosso. His impressive performances in the sister team earned him a call-up to the Red Bull Formula 1 team for the 2019 season.
Unfortunately, he was fairly underwhelming when pitted against the Dutch phenom, Max Verstappen. So, he was demoted to Toro Rosso mid-season- after the race in Hungary. Following this, his performances displayed a complete 180.
Having only just started his F1 career, the young Frenchman does not boast of such significant records or performances. His best performance is the win at Monza, Italy in 2020.
Gasly faced his toughest challenge in 2019, in the form of Max Verstappen. Having earned a promotion to Red Bull, gave him a chance to fight for wins and podiums.
Sadly, as mentioned before, he wilted under the pressure and was demoted to Toro Rosso as a result. However, he has suddenly regained his mojo, and it has translated to a welcome maiden podium in Brazil.
In a relatively short career spanning merely 64 Grand Prix starts, Gasly’s scored 199 points and 2 fastest laps, with two podiums and one win to his name. He achieved a career-best finish of seventh in the Championship standings last year.
