Nyck de Vries to AlphaTauri and Pierre Gasly to Alpine for 2023 could be confirmed by the end of the week... F1
While Gasly has a contract until the end of 2023 with the team, there has been a substantial amount of rumours that the Frenchman will not be the one driving the AlphaTauri next season.
But, Red Bull were not keen on letting the 26-year-old depart without having a replacement lined up. Their number one choice was Colton Herta but that fell through due to his lack of a superlicence and De Vries became a contender following his F1 debut at the Italian Grand Prix.and on Friday, French network CANAL+ reported that his move to AlphaTauri was a done deal.
“First the Gasly thing has to be clarified then it will be decided who comes to AlphaTauri. For AlphaTauri, it must not be a deterioration. That means it must be a high-profile and fast driver.”
