France's Gasly extends Alpine contract until 2028
Pierre Gasly has signed a contract extension with Alpine until the end of the 2028 Formula One season, the French team announced on Saturday.
The 29-year-old joined the Renault-owned outfit for the 2023 season and has achieved two podiums for them.
"I'm thrilled to commit my long-term future to Alpine," said Gasly.
"As a Frenchman, especially, driving for a French car company, makes me feel very proud. Since I joined in 2023, I have always felt that this team is the right place to be for the future."
Gasly joined Alpine from Red Bull's second team, then called AlphaTauri, who he won the Italian Grand Prix with in 2020.
While he is assured of a place on the grid next year, his teammate Franco Colapinto is not.
The Argentinian, who arrived in January as a reserve driver after competing for Williams in 2024, took over last May from Australian Jack Doohan, who was sidelined due to poor results.
But after eight races for Alpine, Colapinto has yet to score a single point.
Alpine are currently tenth and last in the constructors' standings after 15 of the season's 24 Grand Prix.
The team have struggled since finishing fourth in the championship in 2022.
On the management side, Steve Nielsen, appointed Alpine F1 CEO in July, took up his new role this weekend ahead of the Italian Grand Prix.
The British engineer will report to the brand's executive advisor Flavio Briatore.
