Another player has overshadowed Messi’s transfer to Paris-Saint German. It’s Formula 1’s favorite Frenchman, Pierre Gasly. Gasly visited Parc de Princes in France, where he’s currently enjoying his summer break. Upon visiting the stadium, the President of the French football club honored Gasly with his own jersey. The football fan received a customized jersey with his name and driver number brandished at the back. Pierre visibly looked like a kid in a candy shop, with a big, excited smile across his face. NO F1 TRANSFER FOR PIERRE GASLY Although Gasly had one of the best starts in his career, he hopes for more. Gasly has had his eye on the second Red Bull [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/] seat, but Helmut Marko shot down those rumors. Pierre has gained a lot of momentum this season and it’s a reason Franz Tost would love to see the driver continue with the sister team. [https://www.essentiallysports.com/f1-news-who-is-nicholas-latifis-girlfriend-sandra-dziwiszek/] Tost believes Pierre is the team’s forte [https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.alphatauri-boss-tost-hoping-to-keep-both-gasly-and-tsunoda-for-2022.6LdiswRza66rhe3xnlpqfp.html], saying, ” Pierre is a fantastic driver–very fast, very experienced, he fits really good to the team.” Gasly [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pierre-gasly/] currently sits eighth on the scoreboard along with McLaren’s Daniel Ricciardo. Pierre has managed to put up a brilliant fight in the midfield. A prime example of this is his qualifying session in Hungary. The AlphaTauri [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/alphatauri/] stood fifth on the grid, ahead of McLaren [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/mclaren/] and Ferrari [https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/ferrari/].

A very different driver than the one who stepped into the Red Bull cockpit a couple of years ago, Gasly does have the potential to be the second seat. While that doesn’t seem to be an option for another two years, Gasly would be looking to add another win to the list along with last year’s Moza victory. In a season where anything is possible, Gasly has 12 races ahead of him to take the victor’s champagne. Moments [https://www.essentiallysports.com/stories/f1-news-from-drunk-gala-to-dry-responses-kimi-raikkonens-funniest-f1-moments/] 

Pierre Gasly has his fan boy moment in the Parc de Princes as he receives a
jersey from the Paris Saint-Germain football club.

<h2>AlphaTauri: 2021 Latest News, Results, Drivers and Car Updates</h2>
Scuderia AlphaTauri (formerly known as Toro Rosso) are Red Bull Racing's sister team, owned by the drinks brand - Red Bull GmbH, which also, you guessed it, owns the Red Bull Racing team that have become synonymous with Formula 1 over the past decade.

Despite existing as AlphaTauri for barely a season, the Italian team's origins in F1 stretch back to well over three decades ago in 1985, when they first entered F1 as Minardi.

Some of the hardcore fans may be familiar with Minardi, which developed a reputation for being a perennial backmarker team. Ultimately, Minardi transformed into Toro Rosso after the team's owner, Paul Stoddart, sold the Faenza-based squad to Red Bull's Dietrich Mateschitz.

Thus began the Italian team's journey as 'Toro Rosso,' which, 13 years later, rebranded themselves as Scuderia AlphaTauri from the 2020 season.

<a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/pierre-gasly/">Pierre Gasly</a> and Yuki Tsunoda will drive for the team in the 2021 season.
<h2>Why did Toro Rosso change their name to AlphaTauri?</h2>
For the uninitiated, AlphaTauri is Red Bull's fashion brand, founded in 2016 and based in Salzburg Austria. The name supposedly signifies a giant red star in the Taurus constellation.

In November 2019, F1 officially confirmed Toro Rosso's transformation to AlphaTauri in the following season. The reason behind the <a href="https://www.espn.in/f1/story/_/id/28194032/toro-rosso-renamed-alpha-tauri-2020-season" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">name change</a> appears to be due to Red Bull's strategy in promoting its clothing franchise.

As part of their rebranding process, Toro Rosso unveiled a stunning new livery for the team's 2020 car. AlphaTauri's AT01 consists of a gorgeous white and blue livery, which makes their car the best-looking car on the grid.
<h2>On-track achievements</h2>
The Italian team's biggest achievement in their short span as AlphaTauri is undoubtedly winning the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. The team recreated their heroics on the same track 12 years ago as Toro Rosso, when Pierre Gasly clinched his first win in an unlikely scenario much like Sebastian Vettel did, over a decade ago.

[caption id="attachment_398644" align="aligncenter" width="1293"]<img class="wp-image-398644 size-full" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20201003164523/Gasly-Monza.jpg" alt="Pierre Gasly Drinks it all in as he celebrates his Maiden F1 win in Monza after the Italian Grand Prix" width="1293" height="909" /> Formula One F1 - Italian Grand Prix - Autodromo Nazionale Monza, Monza, Italy - September 6, 2020 AlphaTauri's Pierre Gasly celebrates winning the Italian Grand Prix on the podium Pool via REUTERS/Jennifer Lorenzini[/caption]

As AlphaTauri, the team have scored one win, one podium, and 107 points over the course of 10 races in the 2020 season.
<h2>What is AlphaTauri to Red Bull?</h2>
Back in the team's Toro Rosso days, the Faenza-based outfit played the role of a junior team to Red Bull. Following the team's rebranding, Red Bull Racing team principal Christian Horner <a href="https://www.formula1.com/en/latest/article.analysis-what-does-alphatauris-switch-from-red-bulls-junior-to-sister-team.3Q2JmXhmJirgZc7AGRsF9e.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">referred</a> to AlphaTauri as a sister team rather than a junior team.

AlphaTauri have the same engine supplier, Honda, as Red Bull. With the upcoming budget cap and major regulation changes, AlphaTauri are set to work a lot closer with Red Bull in developing their future cars.

AlphaTauri will benefit from increased time in wind tunnel testing and access to the same components and equipment as Red Bull Racing.

On the driver front, AlphaTauri, like before, function as the unofficial proving ground for young drivers hoping to make the step up to the senior team.
<h2>Sponsors, Foundation, and Charity</h2>
As per the team's official website, AlphaTauri support a single charity - <a href="https://www.wingsforlife.com/en/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Wings For Life</a>, "<em>a research foundation which is looking into ways of helping people with spinal injuries,"</em> which is also backed by Red Bull.

AlphaTauri are sponsored by the likes of Moose, MyWorld, Edifice, and Randstad, to name a few.

<h2><strong>Pierre Gasly 2021: Net Worth, Salary, and Endorsements</strong></h2>
Pierre Gasly made his Formula One debut in 2017 for the Toro Rosso team. He filled in for the ousted <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/daniil-kvyat/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Daniil Kvyat</a> for two races before being replaced by Brendon Hartley. Later, when Carlos Sainz left for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/renault/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Renault</a>, Gasly returned for the remainder of the season.

He made his full-time debut in 2018, alongside teammate Hartley, for <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/toro-rosso/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Toro Rosso</a>. His impressive performances in the sister team earned him a call-up to the Red Bull Formula 1 team for the 2019 season.

Unfortunately, he was fairly underwhelming when pitted against the Dutch phenom, Max Verstappen. So, he was demoted to Toro Rosso mid-season- after the race in Hungary. Following this, his performances displayed a complete turnaround.
<h2><strong>Pierre Gasly: Stats and On-track </strong><b>Achievements</b></h2>
Having only just started his F1 career, the young Frenchman does not boast of significant records or performances. His best performance is the win at Monza, Italy in 2020.

Gasly faced his toughest challenge in 2019, in the form of <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/max-verstappen/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Max Verstappen</a>. Having earned a promotion to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/category/f1/red-bull/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Red Bull</a>, he had the chance to fight for wins and podiums.

Sadly, as mentioned before, he wilted under the pressure and was demoted to Toro Rosso as a result. However, he has suddenly regained his mojo, and it has translated to a maiden podium in Brazil.

In a relatively short career spanning merely 64 Grand Prix starts, Gasly's scored 199 points and two fastest laps, with two podiums and one win to his name. He achieved a career-best finish of seventh in the Championship standings last year.

In 2016, Gasly was involved in a serious accident in Silverstone, which left his mother critically injured. The crash injured Pierre's vertebrae.

We crashed, overturned four times and the car ended 50 metres from the road, on the roof! </em>

<em>"There was blood everywhere -- everywhere I saw blood. I thought my mother would die. She could not breathe and was scared to death, like me,"</em>

Gasly's mother <a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/Bk0WKmGjV1b/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">spent</a> 90 days in intensive care and underwent multiple surgeries.
