Pierre Gasly has made a rather surprising prediction. The French driver believes that the lucky alignment of the stars, combined with the major regulatory changes of 2026, could lead to Alpine becoming a serious contender!
There is a consensus in the paddock that one of the most important elements of 2026, the development of resources, is led by Mercedes, which has a lot of experience in this field. Pierre Gasly knows this well, just as he knows that whoever achieves exceptional results in the field of power units will have a good chance in the final standings. And from 2026, Mercedes will be the engine supplier for Alpine.
"I am very curious to see what will happen, because 2026 will be a huge opportunity, when I could also win the world championship. That is why I am preparing a lot for next season. Don't get me wrong, I will do everything I can to be successful in 2025 as well, but where I will be this year is not important at all, it doesn't interest me. The team and I know what we can achieve this year and what we can achieve next year, so we have already established the strategy we are working on. As I also said at the presentation in London, if it were up to me, right now I would put every man and every resource behind the 2026 program. Next year we want to fight for podiums and victories, that is our goal!" - the Frenchman stated with determination.
