Pierre Gasly Spends a Glamorous Night in Paris With Football Icons Pogba and Lewandowski

The world of football and Formula One has always had a strong connection. This time AlphaTauri driver, Pierre Gasly, joined football stars, Robert Lewandowski and Paul Pogba, as well as other high-profile stars, to attend the late Virgil Abloh’s ‘Off-White’ show.

The artistic director of Louis Vuitton men’s wear collection sadly passed away at the age of 41. The event was held in Paris and served as a reminder of Abloh’s contribution to the world of fashion.

Who were the stars joining Gasly?

The 23- time Grand Slam winner, Serena Williams, was at the center of the show. She paid homage to Virgil.

The show also included the likes of Kendall Jenner, Rihanna, Idris Elba, Cindy Crawford, among others. Manchester United star Paul Pogba was seen with popular singer Pharrell Williams. He took to social media to commend the Paris Fashion Week and Virgil Abloh’s work.

Singers Ricky Martin, Maluma, and American rapper Kanye West also attended the event as the world came together to pay tribute to Virgil Abloh.

Gasly is optimistic ahead of the new season

Pierre Gasly feels positive and thrilled with the AT 03 ahead of the season opener at Bahrain.

Speaking to Formula One, he said, “I felt quite confident inside the car and it kind of responded the way I wanted.” He also admitted that there are some areas the team could still improve on.

The former Red Bull driver finished 9th in the drivers’ standings last campaign. He will look to further improve his performance as he continues to push for a spot in a championship-winning car. However, he remains completely focused on this season and will look to carry his strong momentum from last year.

AlphaTauri completed 308 laps over the three-day testing at Barcelona. Gasly finished 8th in the timesheet ahead of Carlos Sainz and Daniel Ricciardo. Even though the Frenchman crashed on the last day of testing, the team believe they have assembled enough data.

He added, “Unfortunately, I locked up my tyres during the morning running and damaged the car, but testing is about finding the limits and we’ve still been able to gather a lot of valuable data over the three days.”

With the season starting in just about 20 days, will Pierre Gasly and AlphaTauri achieve their lofty ambitions? Only time will tell.
