Renault-owned Alpine have extended Pierre Gasly’s stay for the 2025 season and beyond, the Formula One team said on Thursday.

Earlier this month, Alpine decided to part ways with Esteban Ocon at the end of the season, ending his near-five-year spell with the team.

Gasly, who is in his second season with Alpine after joining from Scuderia Alpha, has 140 race starts in Formula One. After a tough start to this campaign, the Frenchman has scored points in three races in a row.

The 28-year-old’s best performance with Alpine so far was a third-placed finish in the Dutch Grand Prix but he sits 15th in the drivers’ championship this season.

“I feel very much at home at this great team. I enjoy being a real part of both the Formula 1 project and the wider Alpine Cars vision,” Gasly said in a statement.

“I’ve been officially here for over 18 months and it has always been the plan to build a long-term project with the Team. While on-track it’s been a challenging season so far, I remain faithful to the project and I am not going anywhere.”
