Pierre Gasly has found himself at the centre of the 2023 ‘silly season’. “I can guarantee that what was said had nothing to do with Formula 1.”. The 26-year-old insisted he remains committed to Alpha Tauri and “nothing has changed”. What is clear is that the Gasly speculation appears to be a further blow to Mick Schumacher’s chances of remaining in Formula 1 next year, as the German has also been linked with the Alpine seat. But if Gasly does make the move, that would open up a seat at Red Bull-owned Alpha Tauri. Schumacher, meanwhile, wouldn’t comment on speculation that he is set to be dropped by Ferrari’s driver academy.
