Behind the scenes with Pierre Gasly: The Alpine racer on his first year with the team, winter plans, and catching up with Zidane

Hey everyone, what a year it has been. It was my first season in a completely new environment at Alpine and, I must say, it was a year with so many highs and lows. In my final column, I’m sharing my thoughts and feelings from across the year and my plans to unwind over the winter. I hope you enjoy reading.

And breathe… but not for long!

The last few weeks have been so busy. We had six races in eight weekends from Qatar to the Americas, Las Vegas and then the season finale in Abu Dhabi. It was a mixed end for us, some good races like Austin and Sao Paulo where we scored points and then some disappointing ones like Vegas and Abu Dhabi where we narrowly missed out for various reasons.
