Pierre Gasly says he is “ready” to become the clear team leader at Alpha Tauri. “I am ready to take on a leadership role in the team. Gasly said a leadership role is required now that his teammate will be a rookie as well as the youngest driver on the 2021 grid – 20-year-old Yuki Tsunoda. The driver said Alpha Tauri is also keen to take a step up in Formula 1 this year. “We want to position ourselves more as an independent racing team and be less regarded as the sister team of Red Bull,” he said. “Obviously I am now more in the spotlight because of that (win), but I have to remain objective about the situation of both myself and the team,” said Gasly.
