Pierre Gasly began karting at the age of six and made his single-seater debut in the French F4 Championship in 2011. In 2013, he won the Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0 title, performances that earned him a place in the Red Bull Junior program. He finished second in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series in 2014 and, in 2016, claimed the GP2 Series title (now FIA Formula 2) after an intense championship battle with his teammate.

In 2017, as part of Red Bull’s development pathway, Gasly competed in Japan’s Super Formula Championship. Racing for TEAM MUGEN, he initially struggled to adapt to Japanese circuits and culture, but from mid-season onward he showed remarkable adaptability. He secured back-to-back victories at Twin Ring Motegi and Autopolis and ultimately finished second in the standings in his rookie season, missing the title by just 0.5 points after the final round was canceled due to a typhoon. His performances earned him a Formula One debut with Toro Rosso from the Malaysian Grand Prix later that year.

Gasly was promoted to the senior Red Bull team in 2019, but inconsistent results led to a mid-season return to Toro Rosso. There, he rebounded strongly, finishing second at the Brazilian Grand Prix—his first F1 podium—and contributing to Honda’s dramatic 1–2 finish, its first in 28 years.

In 2020, Gasly remained with the team after it was rebranded as AlphaTauri. At the Italian Grand Prix, he controlled a chaotic race with precision and resilience, holding off intense pressure to win by just 0.4 seconds. The victory marked France’s first F1 win in 24 years and the team’s first in 12 years.

Gasly moved to the French team Alpine in 2023, where he has continued to score points consistently and perform at a high level. As Alpine’s lead driver, he remains a central figure in the team’s long-term Formula One ambitions.
