Pierre Gasly unwell and absent from media day at F1 Italian Grand Prix amid Alpine rumours
The AlphaTauri dr🔜iver will not face reporters’ questions on Thursday after the team announced: “Following doctors advice,Pierre Gasly will not be on track today as he’s currently unwell.”
There is no mention o𒐪f whether he will be fit to drive in Practice on Friday. Liam Lawson is their reserve driver on standby.
The Frenchman has emerged as the key target for Alpine to fill their 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 driver line-up after the exit of Fernando Alonso to Aston Martin, and the loss of Oscar Piastri to McLaren.
Esteban Ocon is already signed up so Alpine, the French team, are targeting a line-up of two French drivers - admittedly a duo 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:who haven’t always had the 🍃best of☂ relationships.
But this significant switch for the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 season hinges on American IꦬndyCar driver Colton Herta’s ability to land a superlicence, enabling him to take Gasl🥃y’s AlphaTauri seat.
Christian Horner, the Red Bullꩵ team principal, said about the situation at their sister team AlphaTauri: “That’s the key element.
“We aren’t go🌳ing to replace Pierre unless we haꦜve something exciting to put in that car.”
