Being part of the Red Bull driver academy can be a gift and a curse. The team does bring new talent to the grid but replaces them if they are not matching the expectations. Pierre Gasly was brought into Red Bull at the start of the 2019 season, but midway through the year, the Horner-led team replaced him with Alex Albon for the remainder of the season.
The French driver was back in AlphaTauri for the 19′, 20, and 21′ seasons. The 25-year-old will still be a part of the sister for next season as well but hasn’t given hope for joining the Milton-Keynes-based outfit in 2023.

Gasly was dropped from the team midway through the 2019 season. And since the last two and half seasons the French driver has been with the sister team. However, the Frenchman does have hope that he can make it back to Red Bull in 2023.

As quoted by GPFans, “First of all, obviously, my priority is with Red Bull, but at the moment they’ve decided to continue with Sergio. I don’t know what they’re going to plan. They’re saying that probably 2023 there could be an option.”

“I’ll try to put myself in the best position for that, but it’s a discussion that we know we’re going to have next year with Red Bull,” Gasly concluded.

How did Gasly perform in 2021?
The AlphaTauri driver had a mediocre season this year, as he only managed to get one podium which he achieved at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix. As the 2021 season came to end, Gasly had bagged 110 points which resulted in him occupying a ninth-place finish in the driver’s championship.
