Pierre Gasly<\/a> has revealed how he is adapting to the role of being the de facto team leader at Alpine<\/a> since the start of this year\u2019s Formula 1<\/a> season.<\/p>\n

The Frenchman has been, by default, made the number one driver at the Enstone-based squad<\/a>, with former team-mate Esteban Ocon departing to rivals Haas.<\/p>\n

Gasly was initially paired with Jack Doohan, but the Australian rookie was replaced from the start of the European leg by Franco Colapinto.<\/p>\n

Alpine has struggled to maintain its status as one of the leading midfield teams, currently languishing at the bottom of the Constructors\u2019 Championship.<\/p>\n

All of its 20 points have been scored by Gasly, who has produced a number of underrated performances this year in the underwhelming A525.<\/p>\n

In an interview with RacingNews365, Gasly explained how he is tackling the newfound role, and is happy to have the influence over the team.<\/p>\n

\u201cYeah, I think it\u2019s being more aware of\u2026 many things,\u201d he said. \u201cI\u2019ve always had the speed. <\/p>\n

\u201cThen, you need the consistency, you need the team to work; [you] need to work for the team, but then the team to work for you.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd by both having this type of mentality, you get more out of the team and get more out of yourself, the package, etc.<\/p>\n

\u201cSo, yeah, I must say, I\u2019m pleased I have more responsibilities in the team, more leadership.<\/p>\n

\u201cObviously, with Jack and Franco, it puts more weight on myself, which I like, and also the team, we\u2019re all driving in the direction which suits me to just perform and get the best out of the car.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"ThePierre Gasly has outclassed his two team-mates at Alpine in 2025<\/p>\n

Gasly reaffirms belief in long-term Alpine \u2018project\u2019<\/p>\n

Gasly arrived at Alpine with the team seemingly centred around Ocon, which led to questions as to why he would choose to vacate his seat at Red Bull\u2019s sister team.<\/p>\n

But with increased focus appearing to be shifting towards Gasly, which has been even more apparent since Ocon\u2019s exit, he has built a strong relationship with Alpine.<\/p>\n

\u201cI must say, I\u2019m happy [with] the way I work with the team,\u201d he expressed.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m very competitive, and regardless of the performance of the car, you can say it\u2019s frustrating at times, because, obviously, I\u2019m not in F1 to fight for some P15s or 10th place.<\/p>\n

\u201cBut, at the end of the day, I\u2019m with the team for a longer project. I believe in the project. I know where we\u2019re heading, I know we are making a lot of good changes.<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd, fortunately, that\u2019s just a step on the way, which is not the most pleasant, but I\u2019m sure we\u2019ll come out stronger as a team.\u201d<\/p>\n

Gasly recently stated he would take being last for every remaining race this year \u201cevery day of the week\u201d,<\/a> provided it would mean Alpine has a car for 2026 that can seriously challenge.<\/p>\n

The 29-year-old reiterated the team\u2019s stance that it is realigning its aims from what has been a tricky year, and is confident in what it is building for next year.<\/p>\n

\u201cA lot of the stuff we are building, questioning in what we\u2019re doing, changing, I\u2019m sure, will pay dividends in the future,\u201d he concluded.<\/p>\n

\u201cNow we have the car we\u2019ve had since Barcelona. We can\u2019t expect to suddenly make a miracle with where we are, and we knew it when we decided to have this strategy for \u201926.\u201d<\/p>\n
