Pierre Gasly has secured his future with Alpine after signing a long-term contract extension that will keep him at the team until at least the end of the 2028 Formula 1 (F1) season.
The 29-year-old joined Alpine in 2023 and has so far achieved two podium finishes and played a key role in helping the team finish sixth in the constructors' standings last season.
Gasly's previous contract was due to expire at the end of 2026, but the two parties agreed to extend the partnership by two years early, just ahead of this weekend's Italian Grand Prix.
"As a French driver, driving for a French team makes me incredibly proud. Since arriving in 2023, I've felt Alpine is the right place for my future," Gasly said, as quoted on the official Formula 1 website on Saturday.
He added that the support of team principal Flavio Briatore, the commitment of Renault Group CEO Francois Provost, and the technical team at Enstone made the decision to stay feel natural.
"Our goal is the same, which is to win the race and achieve the world championship title," he said.
Briatore described Gasly as a key asset capable of maintaining the team's stability ahead of Formula 1's new regulation era in 2026.
"Pierre has shown incredible dedication and talent. We look forward to continuing this project together for a long time," said Briatore.
However, there's no certainty yet about who Gasly's teammate will be next season. Currently, Alpine's second seat is held by Argentine young driver Franco Colapinto.
