He will make his Formula One debut with them next year.<\/p>\n<p>Gasly\u2019s contract was set to expire at the end of next year but Alpine struck a deal with AlphaTauri to secure an early release.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt became quite evident to us that he\u2019s got youth experience and speed, that\u2019s difficult to say for a lot of drivers that are still within Formula One,\u201d Alpine team boss Otmar Szafnauer told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe\u2019re fortunate to secure Pierre and look forward to working with him.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gasly replaced Renault-bound Australian Daniel Ricciardo at Red Bull in 2019 alongside Verstappen but was demoted to AlphaTauri 12 races into the season.<\/p>\n<p>He has since rebuilt his reputation and is now a race winner, having earned the Italian team a home win in Monza in 2020. <\/p>\n<p>Gasly had been looking to leave the Red Bull system but a contract extension for Sergio Perez earlier this year ruled out Gasly\u2019s move back up to the main team.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the terms agreed between Alpine and AlphaTauri, Gasly\u2019s move was also dependent on the latter finding a suitable replacement. <\/p>\n<p>Speculation had linked multiple IndyCar race winner Colton Herta to the seat but the American was unable to secure a super-licence.<\/p>\n<p>AlphaTauri boss Franz Tost said de Vries had been on his radar for some time but his performance in Monza convinced him of his ability.<\/p>\n<p>Saturday\u2019s announcements at the Japanese Grand Prix officially closed the door for McLaren\u2019s Daniel Ricciardo, ousted in favour or Piastri, to return to Alpine, who he raced for when they ran as Renault.<\/p>\n<p>It also leaves only one vacancy each at Williams and Haas open on the 2023 grid.<\/p>\n<p> (Reporting by Abhishek Takle; editing by Ana Nicolaci da Costa)<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/motor-racing-alpine-sign-gasly\/attachment\/italian-grand-prix-5\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI97005-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI97005-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.oann.com\/uncategorized\/motor-racing-alpine-sign-gasly\/attachment\/japanese-grand-prix-9\/\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/10\/tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI97006-BASEIMAGE.jpg\" alt=\"tagreuters.com2022binary_LYNXMPEI97006-BASEIMAGE\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>SUZUKA, Japan (Reuters) -Frenchman Pierre Gasly will join compatriot Esteban Ocon in a race-winning line up at Renault-owned Alpine next season with Dutchman Nyck de Vries stepping up to replace<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":66,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1678873","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1678873","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/66"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1678873"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1678873\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1678873"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1678873"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1678873"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
