F1 2026 driver line-up: Lewis Hamilton and other drivers already confirmed for 2026<\/a><\/p>\n\u201cI\u2019m thrilled to commit my long-term future to Alpine,\u201d said Gasly.<\/p>\n
\u201cAs a Frenchman, especially, driving for a French car company, makes me feel very proud.<\/p>\n
\u201cSince I joined in 2023, I have always felt that this team is the right place to be for the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cFlavio support and belief in me, Francois\u2019 commitment to the Formula 1 project, as well as the people we have in Enstone made this a natural decision, and I want to be here in years to come and deliver on our joint objective: to win races and world championships.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re all in this together,\u201d he added, \u201cand I look forward to continuing this special story.\u201d<\/p>\n
Gasly\u2019s decision is a vote of confidence in the team which has endured a difficult 12 months, during which time it has changed team principals twice.<\/p>\n
Briatore, Executive Advisor and interim Team Principal, said: \u201cSince I returned to the team, I have always stated how important it is to build and grow the competitiveness of BWT Alpine Formula One Team.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re well prepared for the new era of Formula One, beginning in 2026, and now we have our lead driver confirmed to bring us well into the future.<\/p>\n
\u201cPierre has been an immense asset for the team during this challenging period.<\/p>\n
\u201cI have been very impressed with his attitude, dedication and talent and we look forward to continuing this project together for a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
