For months on end now, we’ve been excited by the prospect of the Frenchman Gasly joining Alpine. The French team, based in Enstone, has been linked with Gasly even before Alonso announced he was leaving the team in 2022. However, as it would appear, Romano has some big news!
According to him, “Pierre Gasly will join BWT Alpine F1 team from Alpha Tauri from the end of the season.”
What’s more? He also had a timeline within which this news will be made public. “Personal terms all signed and an official announcement is expected in the coming hours.”.
This post by Romano was also liked by Gasly himself.
