Pierre Gasly Confirms Red Bull Interest Ahead Of 2022 Return And Contract
25-years-old French driver Pierre Gasly has shown his desire to return to Red Bull once again and prove his worth to the team after everybody criticized his first appointment with the Red Bull team stating it came too soon for the driver.
With Sergio Perez’s one-year contract with Red Bull expiring this season, Red Bull are on the lookout to replace him with another competitive driver that can push the car to another limit and partner young and fearless Dutchman Max Verstappen.
“I think it’s pretty clear on my end, it’s in Red Bull’s hands,” Pierre Gasly said ahead of the Hungarian Grand Prix.
“Max is signed for next year in the top team, Sergio I think has a one-year contract, so we’ll see what happens there and then what we do going forward together,” he continued.
Ups and Downs in Formula 1
Pierre Gasly’s Formula 1 career began in 2017 with Red Bull’s sister team Toro Rosso being a part of the Red Bull Junior Team. He showed excellent driving ability competing in the very crowded midfield of Formula 1.
Following his extraordinary performances for Toro Rosso, he was given the second seat left vacant by Daniel Ricciardo but was not able to replicate his performance with Red Bull. In his 12 Grand Prix appearances with Red Bull, he managed to grab the fastest lap of the race twice failing to finish on the podium and winning the race.
Red Bull quickly started questioning their decision of promoting Gasly and demoted him to Toro Rosso giving the seat to Alex Albon. After returning to Toro Rosso, he won his first-ever Grand Prix and has since secured two podiums for the Alpha Tauri which is the new name of Toro Rosso.
It would be interesting to see if he gets a promotion to the Red Bull team once again ahead of the summer break.
