The 2021 Formula One season was the most exciting season that we have had in recent years. While the headline action was at the top, in the middle of the table, AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly had a consistent season on the circuit and enjoyed all the races that the F1 calendar had to offer. For next year, he is looking forward to more battles with rivals such as McLaren and Ferrari.

Pierre Gasly is hoping to fight Ferrari and McLaren in 2022

According to the AlphaTauri driver, fighting against Ferrari and McLaren had been the most thrilling aspect of the season. He went on to say that he intends to battle them again next year.

As quoted from Autosport, Gasly said, “As an entire season, 22 races, I must say I enjoyed all 22. Coming into a race weekend knowing you’re going to be fighting for points, you’re going to fight with Ferraris and McLarens, is just a different kind of excitement.”
