Gasly and his hint to Sainz: “I will accept the fastest in the Alpine, because we all know who he is”

Alpine is one of the teams in the best position to acquire the services of Carlos Sainz. But Toto Wolff opened the door to the possibility of the Spaniard being selected in Hamilton’s place a few weeks ago in an interview with MD, and for now, everything is up in the air. In addition, Williams and Audi (Sauber in 2025) also want him. The Spaniard has no shortage of ‘girlfriends’ and he lets himself be loved. And Pierre Gasly, Alpine driver, referred to the possibility of the French team to sign Carlos, who is very favorable and announced that he tried to convince his Spanish friend.

“Alpine has good options on the table and it’s not something that depends on me in the end. I will welcome the fastest guy, which we all know who he is… but right now we have to wait. The team has 3 good options,” declared at the official press conference of the FIA ​​before the Hungarian F1 GP, with a clear indirectness to Carlos Sainz, although there was no shade to him.

Later, the Frenchman was asked if he had tried to convince the Madrid native by talking to him. Gasly was asked “Have I talked to him? I have done my share of the work. I believe in the project we are building with the team. I always support the team. And now it is up to make his decision,” said said Pierre.

It should be noted that Gasly was already in favor of Sainz signing for Alpine a few weeks ago. It was said in the statements published in ‘MARCA’: “Obviously, Carlos has the added value of having a lot of experience in strong teams, like McLaren and Ferrari, so he has more to contribute and will obviously be the best As a competitive person, I want the most competitive by my side and to push the team But if you look at Jack (Doohan) and Mick (Schumacher), they are both very talented, they are very fast and they are already part of. the team and I am sure they will fit in well.
