[@sofianhassaineyear1177]

What I don't understand is that no one is pointing out that Esteban Ocon is vastly outperforming Gasly this season which really annoys me, I was hoping you would at least mention it in this video but you didn't and that hinders my thoughts on the video, Gasly really isn't this better-than-Ocon team leader everyone makes him out to be, besides Gasly might be expressing faith in Alpine according to news outlets but on-track Ocon seems to be backing the team as well, such as in Bahrain quali, "only round one", he doesn't seem so fed up as everyone makes him out to be either, he just obviously deserves a seat at a top team for once like Mercedes, whom he was in the academy of Until Ocon leaves, he's the team leader, only when he does leave for Mercedes will Gasly become the team leader

LawVS: if there is one drive we should al really feel sorry for should be the like of Pierre Gasly. valtteri bottas enters the chat.

[@InterestedAmerican]

So... what you're saying is that Pierre Gasly has decided his best chance in Formula One is for him to become, Alpineman. If he's willing to really stick it out while Alpine get situated, it stands a chance of paying off. Plus, unless he really craps the bed, Gasly knows he'll have a drive in F1.

[@InterestedAmerican]

Another thing to consider is "the French." Every driver that has left Alpine/Renult/Sauber/etc. has been taken personally by the team. So they consider loyalty important. It is NOW when you learn who your friends are if you're Alpine. People that stick with you and prove they want to see you succeed will undoubtedly be rewarded in time.

I truly believe for a while, there was a bit of a possibility for him to end up in Ferrari, he was speaking Italian, doing a lot of interviews with the Italian press, it sucks (for him) they picked Carlos and that worked so well. In general I believe he's a very strong driver (not a verstappen of course) and could do amazing in a better team, but is also one of those "unlucky" drivers that fill the grid over the years (Hulkenberg, Heidfeld and yes also Alonso) wrong choice at the wrong time in too many occasions.

Even as someone who likes Pierre more than Ocon, I don't agree with your assessment that Gasly is more diplomatic. He can be at times, but so can Ocon. This season in particular Ocon seems to be really supportive of the team, at least in the radio that's been broadcast in races and interviews. It's clearly a facade to either keep his seat or get the Merc seat, but it does seem to me like he's doing everything he can to stay in F1. Gasly may be doing the same, but it hasn't come across as much this year imo. The season is young.

[@timmynicolas8729]

Exactly this whole video is speculating about Ocon wanting to move and Galsy to stay with absolutely nothing to back that claim . It’s like he just invented this narrative himself and convinced himself it was good for a yt video. Honestly I do think Ocon wants to leave but where on earth as he publicly said or implied it? Has this guy not heard any of Ocon post race team radios and interviews this season or what

[@Redlingstein]

Totally agree. Ocon has been very motivating in press conf, press pen, abt the team, and on radio. He truly tries to motivate the team.

[@Drakewyrm]

I don't see how Alpine could turn things around, even in 3-4 years. Everything there is rotten, the management and the technical side sucks... Plus, the field became extremely competitive, and every single point counts. From now on Alpine will have to play catch up against Williams, Haas, and the other backmarkers who are not waiting for them, let alone compete with the likes of AM or Mclaren.

I don't understand why Gasly is not in the talk for a Red Bull seat. He definitely has the talent, and is better than both Yuki and Daniel. After Carlos Sainz and Checo, the next choice should be Gasly. Why not? Albon is already contracted for 2025 and does not want to be under the shadow of Max Verstappen. Liam needs more time in Alpha Tauri. In a case where they need a more competitive driver than Checo and Sainz is not available, Gasly should get the Red Bull drive. He was the most loyal Torro Rosso driver ever, and perhaps the most successful at that team too, bringing that car to places where it should never have been.

[@Ryzard]

With the sheer amount of talent there is now, in so many junior series, and others that leave F1 or simply are stuck being an eternal backup driver, I can only think this - We really need more championships for open wheel on a World Championship, or semi-WC level (in terms of mix of nationalities, level of the cars, etc.), Like Indycar. These drivers need places to go, that are profitable and large with other talented drivers in various stages of their career, that are not just F2 and super formula (junior series) IK some F1 fans will mock IndyCar, but in all reality it is the closest thing in many respects to F1 itself, when it comes to the cars and the speed (though obviously F2 is a better direct junior series, with the tracks and culture following F1 closely) Seeing older f1 drivers, drivers between seats, or juniors wanting to prove a point (like perhaps lawson may) - it would be amazing to have a couple more open wheel series focused on truly pushing speed and competition, not just advanced karting/neutered cars on the way to F1. Seems like outside f1, you end up just going to GT, the WEC, or Indy, for the most part. After you win in the junior series, you're out of luck for anywhere but F1 to go, really.

[@Redlingstein]

@@Redlingstein you are correct, and I addressed that. I'm saying we need *more*(not that there aren't any) open wheel series on a similar level to indycar that can serve as relative peaks, and championships that are actually consistent, like the ones you mentioned, that I have as well.

They could well bring this expertise to the party when the regulations change. Plus, Renault the car company are performing very well in the domestic markets and are selling a lot of cars. They played the domestic route very well, the make 5 SUVs and only one of them is full EV, the others can be petrol, diesel, full hybrid or plug in hybrid. In short, they have got the market covered currently meeting every taste the car buying or fleet buying folk want. Gasly will stay and the obvious other driver is Jack Doohan.

[@kuokkae]

All the best to Pierre

[@ethanwatt-dz3xq]

Gaslys situation reminds me of Jensen button pre 2009. Good enough to fight for a championship, but no championship seats available, so he establishes himself as the leader of a midfield works team, and then regulations change, and all that money and investment sends them to the front of the field, and button launches a shock championship challenge. I think gasly is trying to replicate this with alpine, and I think if alpine can deliver the car in 2026, gasly could deliver a shock championship.

[@HoldenMaGroin-ne6vv]

Eh

[@Evarakeus]

Difference is Button was actually good

[@exa0247]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤡🤡

[@Uzair_Of_Babylon465]

Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things 😁💯

[@Nathan-qc4gz]

Peirre is such a beautiful man

[@gm_28]

I really dont get the hate Ocon gets. I like the guy and he has also proven he’s pretty quick.

[@freyalove3831]

Because Ocon is a sleazy ball. Even not ask Max,Perez and Alonso.

[@DJKaBz1]

Pierre just seems like a really cool guy, I’d love alpine to poach yuki to replace ocon

[@aes0p895]

It's easy to not feel bad for Gasly. Have you seen his girlfriend?

[@edwinmagangane275]

My boi Gasley deserves a chance at that second redbull seat...

[@haj78]

ladder... goog point 😁

[@clintonmaher6930]

Doohan will be in the Alpine next season

[@mrbungle3310]

are teams gonna forget his amazing growth because of 1 season? Nah...both ocon and gasly are race winners are in midfield cars,alpine have no driver issue really both are 4/5

[@Redlingstein]

Well I disagree, Ocon is very much motivating the team on radio each race, talking to the press very clearly as the team leader….while Gasly is actually not motivating in any way on radio…he is even a bit negative … Gasly’s energy is negative and OCONS energy is clearly positive in interviews in press pen and in Thursdays press conf…

[@robb5270]

Someone needs to tell Pierre There is a thing called a cost cap; you cannot spend whatever you want. Especially in Reno situation where they need to fix and catch up. Also Reno is dysfunctional and continues to produce the worst engine, along with their management not being committed and a mess

[@jasonolexik1978]

If Gasly had a top car he would be involved in incidents pretty often. Faster than stroll but equally as mistake prone. I don’t think either alpine driver needs to be retained. There are so many younger cheaper drivers that could finish 16th and below…

[@randomman9915]

wowza

[@ProgramKiraTV]

Where is Mick in all the chaos around the Merc seat? He should be in the prime spot as the reserve driver

[@HoldenMaGroin-ne6vv]

My guess is he'll stay in WEC and as a reserve. Like this year.

[@Redlingstein]

Toto never gives the reserve driver a shot, not Nyck, not Mick, not Vesti….

[@ZippyZapBike]

1) He's not good enough 2) If the team does not bend over backwards Ralf Schumacher will repeatedly trash the team on German TV, which is bad for the team and sponsors PR

[@ennote91]

Wish he could had stuck it out at RB

[@xiNchainsx]

I wonder what happened to the "making it back to Red Bull is the main priority". Sucks for Pierre, but it's self inflicted

[@LathropLdST]

And sharing with Albon the "I am better than Perez" dribble. I just 🍷, 🍿 and ☕ at his self inflicted karma 😒

[@LawVS]

I think it dissapeared when it became clear that Marko wasn't going to let him in despite winning a race, a few podiums and whatnot...he was stuck.

[@Troy-McLore]

I feel really sorry for Gasly, Ocon I couldn't care less about

[@Firemarioflower]

0:24 That's a stretch... Come on now.... how would he achieve that?

[@Zuefo]

i love pierre gasy my favourite driver i feel very bad to see how is he struggiling Válasz

[@Kiwing827]

The whole thing is just a big mess now at Alpine, there are rumors that there are infighting between Enstone and Viry for resources. That's probably why they sold stake in the team to finance the expansion on Enstone side and Renault financing the Viry engine plant. For Gasly, i can't see any future in Alpine in its current state. He has to make a play on the 3 big seats open (Mercedes, Aston & Audi), the red bull seat is practically closed. Rumors of the Saudis buying out Stroll would make Aston a good seat to wait and see how things pans out for 2026 since the team would be flush with cash if Stroll keeps it or the Saudis takeover but i can also see Sainz considering as well.

[@aaronsorensen5165]

Would you rather be in Gasley’s shoes or Albon’s? Both dumped by RB to pick up scraps with mediocre teammates in a mediocre team.

[@Fiasco3]

Albon at the moment, because Williams despite being slow are trying everything to improve and help him.

[@Evarakeus]

​@@Fiasco3Not to mention Albon didn't burn those RB bridges, so he actually has a shot at Checo's seat if he wants it. Easily in a better spot than Gasly, by his own efforts too

[@ericpz]

Where would Alpine be if Szafnauer was still there?

[@Marco-xz7rf]

Good thing Alonso finally managed to jump the boat before it sinks :D

[@TaisinViper]

Ocon needs to give up and find a new race series he got burned by Merc and used up by Alpine/Renault and isn't handling it well. Maybe he would be better in the Peugeot Hypercar

[@ChuyR.]

would that series pay him millions? I think he should get as much money as he can from F1, then whenever he has no choice move to a different series.

[@Redlingstein]

Ocon is fast, Hungary 2021 and Monaco 2023 proved that

[@Stefan8u]

Honestly if Ocon ends up at Mercedes as a first choice pick, I'll donate some money to charity.

[@alpd7638]

Isn't toto his manager?

[@Stefan8u]

@@alpd7638 Yeah, but when you've got Alonso and Sainz as free external drivers, and Antonelli and Mick in the wings, as well as Mercedes apparently preferring to avoid team mate conflict I just can't see Toto ignoring everyone mentioned as well as the slight chance the talk about Verstappen comes true and taking Ocon before attempting to get one of the Spaniards.

[@freyalove3831]

Not happening.

[@jeffreyhutchins6527]

Ocon to Merc ? Only if he is drastically cheaper than Sainz.

[@davemieze9021]

Back to Shire

[@ianfaris4806]

Do you have a fan going in that attic

[@miggygetright6344]

Gasly should either leave for Sauber/Audi or stay at alpine assuming they’ll keep paying him the big bucks and build around him

[@DjDmt]

Ocon has zero chance going to Mercedes

[@graemewilliams6697]

I wouldn't have Ocon in any team.

[@michaelfrench9062]

The two drivers I don't care for on the grid thisvyear, Ocon and Russell. They just rub e the wrong way.

[@ChuyR.]

haha, they are probably the most hated drivers, along with Stroll, why would that be though?

[@crystalracing4794]

Vettel has more chance of that Merc seat than Ocon. Gasly should return to Racing Bulls.

[@mypinis]

Toto wants another Lewis/botas, so Russell/ocon will be it mark my word's.

[@demonbox7780]

And who would be Bottas in that equation? The reliable 2nd fiddle? Ocon? Nah man he's too close to Russell (who isn't even close to what Hamilton was) and with a very poor attitude, when speaking of being part of a team or designated 2nd driver. Not saying with Gasly would be different, but they either bring in a proper 2nd driver who accepts it (like Bottas) or go for someoen who would be more consistent and a prospect than Russell.

[@mypinis]

@@demonbox7780 we'll see.

[@ChuyR.]

mercedes will bring bottas back, mark my words @@demonbox7780
