Pierre Gasly's decision to join Alpine might be one of the biggest gambles of his career, as the team faces significant turmoil and an increasingly uncertain future in the highly competitive world of Formula 1. With Alpine struggling to keep up with the competition, rumors are swirling about a potential sale, leaving the team’s prospects looking bleaker by the day. Gasly, who once praised the move as a step up, might now be questioning his choice as Alpine battles internal disorganization and dwindling performance. I take a closer look at how Gasly's decision could have long-term consequences for his career come 2027 when I believe the new team principal of Alpine Oliver Oakes will transform the team into Hitech GP, drawing comparisons to the downfall of the Jordan F1 team, and examining the potential impact of a sale on both the team and Gasly's future in the sport. Could Gasly find himself trapped in a failing team, or is there a way out? Discover the unfolding drama at Alpine and what it could mean for one of F1's most promising drivers. Don't miss this in-depth analysis of Gasly's precarious position and the turbulent road ahead for Alpine.

No he didn't. Alpine + Mercedes engines = Race Wins.
Weird to say staying at RB would’ve earned him more points this year. As a French, I apologize for whatever Alpine has been
tf do u apologize for😭😭😭
@@timjuten that’s all the French know how to do.😂
@@tristanskipworth4377 Still more than the British 😉
Its because Alpine is considered the french pride in motorsport, and we looks like idiots because of their bad results(for my part am french but i support Mercedes and Williams)
A french?
I do feel bad for Gasly. He was best of the rest for the majority of the time after getting kick off Red bull and I personally rate him highly. When Piastri and Alonso left the Alpine ‘ship’ it was sinking in private but now we are witnessing the team fall apart and Gasly is stuck on the doomed ship even though he deserves a better drive
let it sink, plenty more talent out there, and also possible doors for Andretti
He's still in F1, that's more than I can say for a whole lot of drivers that deserve a seat but can't get in due to all the nepotism and politics.
It’s amazing how it was Renault that heavily pushed for the turbo hybrid engine regulations in the first place. They threatened to quit F1 if it didn’t happen.
And then they were horrible at it the entire time.
I feel for Pierre. I mean it’s not like Kvyat where one person took his job, his girlfriend and is now raising his kid, but still.
Bringing up someone else's kid isn't a win, it's a loss.
he cheated on her and fundamentally damaged his own family. Is not like he lost everything from one moment to another.
@@wizzyno1566 I bet that you have never touched a woman.
@@wizzyno1566 for a normal person i do understand your point, why spend my hard earned money on some elses kid, right?, but for the case of these multimillionare dudes, believe, that girl is not the only person depending on Max's money. In fact she probably is the one that consumes the least amount of money from him.
@@ChuyR.Let's be fair. P is probably a big reason for Max staying with Kelly too. Which real man won't melt for a little person that loves you to bits. I know it would make me go the distance probably
8:37 Actually they'll go "Oh my God, Brad Pitt is 9 YERAS OLDER than Max Verstappen's dad. How the hell could he be in F1"
He looks 9 years younger tho mate.
Certainly no older than Fernado, so pretty sure zero people will be saying that.
@@mackamotorsport2593yeah but it’s ridiculous that he is supposed to be a 1990s racer that came back after 20 years…
@@nikobellic2515 They should have just made Rush 2, based on the Prost/Senna rivalry. We could have seen cameos of legends like Bellof, Arnoux etc
@@yellow_x522 this is a awesome idea and the definitely should!!
@@nikobellic2515 I'd say saying build a car for battle or whatever it was in the trailer was more ridiculous but
it's a movie, nearly all of them have some insanely stupid aspect to them.

Everyone knows why Hi-Tech and Andretti were denied a team. Right now it's $200mm for a new team to pay for the dilution of prize money. The new Concorde agreement in '26 raises that to $1.2b. it's just greed pure and simple.
Definitely greed. Also a little bit of them sticking their nose up at Andretti and America. Because they want American viewers but not American teams and drivers.
Alpine has failed Gasly so much these past races
Named it Alpine so not to damage Renault brand. So it was made to fail.
Man, I miss Abiteboul as a character in F1, not gonna lie ^^'
Law: "Gasly should stay at Alpine! He's becoming the team lead and they fit him so well!" *later that season* "Gasly made a huge mistake staying at Alpine!!" 😆😆😆 Never change, I love it.
Who knew that early 2024 Law had no idea HOW BAD Alpine were under the hood.
Eddie Jordan is so underrated. He is one of the best talent seekers in F1 history. Some of the biggest names people know now are because EJ managed to scout them and give them a chance at the right time.
He’s lost his marbles now though.
I had the most vivid dream last night where I was at a party chillin’ with Law, testing out my own very posh British accent on him-it ended just as we were starting a game of Monopoly 🎲
I don’t think people realize that indy car is not something most Americans watch...it has its fan base but the average person is way more interested in F1 then indy (maybe its my age group late 20s early 30s)
The only thing with f1 is a lot of the races are super early Sunday morning on the American west coast which is annoying
F1 is global. Every market has races that are at inconvenient times. At least we get 3 home races.
I try to keep supporting Alpine. I really do. Fan since I started watching all the races in 2017, I loved the quiet but dedicated attitude of Hulkenberg at Renault. After he lost his seat, I eventually started rooting for Gasly, and I was happy when he moved to Alpine. Maybe they would finally be able to put out the dumpster fire. Not the case. Now I'm just hoping Andretti buy the team. I'd rather they become team 11, stick it to Liberty and such, but I'd honestly be happy just to see them on the grid.
Edit: Getting to your part about Andretti makes perfect sense, what would they do with two teams worth of infrastructure? I can hope, though!
Thats why I think Racing Bulls is going to be sold off to Andretti. They shuttered their Italy infrastructure and moved into the Red Bull campus. There's a lot of reasons supporting it. We know Horner wants the budget cap increased dramatically. Zak Brown (and others) don't want you to be able to own two teams. Horner says "Fine, we'll sell Racing Bulls but it HAS to be worth our while. What good does getting a billion dollars do us if we can't spend it?" It just makes sense that that rumor about Horner asking for more budget drops, and then a week later Ben Sulayem stops advocating for Andretti as an 11th team and says "Andretti should just buy a team."
I'd have loved to see Pierre at the front. He deserves a second chance in a top team. I would say he's a good option for Ferrari when Lewis Retires
Lol no
Bearman will be Lewis's replacement... Hince why he's at hass next year.
@hombrepollo8234 I don't disagree that Bearman will almost certainly be the replacement for lewis. I just think Ferrari should at least consider Gasly
Alpine + Mercedes engines will be at the front. They getting regular points with a terrible Renault engine. So with an Mercedes they would be at the front.
I hate when people say "Bearman is a replacment in Ferrari after Lewis" First he has to show his talent in Haas and impress. And tbf his junior career doesn't scream F1 seat in Ferrari to me. When in 2025 we will have Leclerc (F3&F2 won as a rookie) and 7xWDC as Ferrari pairing. So saying like Ferrari for him is done deal is kinda funny.
Others have mentioned it already but I wouldn't object if Alpine sold up to Andretti. They just feel like a walking corpse of a team at this point. FOM were keen to talk about Andretti not bringing enough value to the sport so what Alpine's excuse exactly? It's ashame for Gasly really, he's a decent driver but where can go? I think his best bet would be with Andretti if they do buy Alpine because I'm not really sure what other options he has. I'd also argue that this again is why F1 needs more than 10 teams really.
Slight aside: 3:46 I kinda wish we could go back to those days. Obviously have some quality control and stop joke teams like Life or Andrea Moda having a go but if there was a way to make it easier for new independent teams to have a crack at F1 it would be great! I miss teams like Jordan, Stewart and Minardi!
They should let up to 12 teams show up and try to qualify (or as many teams as want to, honestly) but only the fastest 20 cars get to race on Sunday. Andretti want's to spend a billion+ to be an F1 team? Cool! If you're fast enough you can race. That way, other teams like Sauber this year have a reason to actually spend money. Audi already bought the team. Why would Sauber spend any money above the absolute minimum at this point to develop the car out of their own pocket? It's a sad way to go, but also, I get it from a business standpoint.
What nobody seems to consider is that the Andretti plan was to use Renault power units until GM was ready. So if they just come in and buy Alpine they also need a whole new plan to make car go vroom vroom. Anyone who buys that team needs to sort out the power before taking over. Unless Aston Martin has some sort of exclusivity clause I think Honda would be a good option. Especially if they put Jack in the car. Even though it is a completely different category of motorsport it would be nice to see the Doohan and Honda names together again.
They can never make me hate you Pierre❤ Watching him Drive the absolute wheels off that AT was a joy, he's such a good Driver and i Really thought he deserved a Second chance at RB But Helmut was adamant that he made the right choice and bringing him back would mean admitting he was WRONG and Pierre deserved more Time, But now that he has left that Toxicity and all that he's achieved,His First Podium in brazil and win in Monza,All that effort over those 3 years for him to Move to a team that i had hope for after they Rebranded as Alpine ,They were in the points and got podiums and even a win,But since the summer break this Team has beeb an absolute clown show, Celebrity owners, Taking 4 steps back and 2 steps sideways To take one step Forward, If only these Oui oui Bon Bon, Croissant and Cheese Eaters could Pull their head out and build a Competent Car
Yuki will never make it to Red Bull if he hasn't already. Behind him are drivers with more talent, fire, and backing since Honda is no longer with RB. Hadjar and Lawson are the two choices to take checos seat
Redbull were really hoping Daniel wasn't going to be this washed. Would have made things way easier.
I think the big thing about this whole assumption Alpine will leave, is how much tunnel vision it requires. Law, at the end you said the Alpine Academy might become the Hi-Tech Academy if they take over, and there it is. Would that also mean they take Alpines place at WEC, rebrand the Renault entry in WRC, both of which are very recent venture, or does FRECA become FRECHT? I just don't see a reality where they dramatically expand their motorsport presence just to pull out of the highest class, almost immediately after receiving a large injection of investment money.
From junior team, to top team, back to junior team and grabbing a win, then to a manufacturer team, only for that manufacturer to most likely becoming a customer team by the next big regulation cycle.
Gasly getting sent to redbull too early was the worst thing for his career. Kinda similar career trajectory to Kyvat, except Gasly got another shot outside of the redbull family.
The other difference between the 2 is that Gasly is a better driver (is not even close imo), but yes Redbull screwed loads of young careers, Gasly, Albon and more recently Tsunoda.
Of course none of them is the best driver of this generation, but all of them (Gasly and Albon for sure) would be doing great on top teams, but such is the life in F1 and has always been like this.
Who would take Gasly anyway? He has proven to buckle under pressure. Not exactly what an ambitious team boss want for his driver lineup. Showing a solid performance occasionally with a back marker team isn't good enough to make people forget about his pitiful stint at Red Bull Racing. Admittedly, he's still better than the likes of Tsunoda or Sargent but that's not exactly a high bar.
18:41 Speaking of Alex Palou, I've heard rumors that he is being considered for the second seat on the Audi F1 team. Other names that are also under consideration include Mick Schumacher and Liam Lawson.
I don't see an Andretti purchase getting approved.
A month ago everyone was saying how "Smart" Gasly was for sticking it out with a "Works Team".
Yeah. Turns out Alpine were not getting the memo
@@LawVS I think it's fair to say, we saw this coming a couple of years ago. I wonder if Audi knew they had another option? Andretti?
I wonder if Yuki's hesitation was related to Gastly's fate after leaving RB.
I’ve heard that Yuki will remain loyal to teams using Honda power
I care little about Alpine but I don’t want a driver of Gasly’s skill to be shafted by a dying organization.
Excellent content. Like you as much as Peter Windsor who I admire greatly.
i think when you look at hitech there is a link with lawson
" promoted Liam Lawson from their Formula 3 operation.[26] Lawson won the first race of the season"
Ok. Now who’s gonna shell out $1B to buy this garbage fire?
Maybe, maybe... Gasly should have a quiet word in Michael Andretti's ear, just in case?
Just a thought - I bet the other teams be pleased with a larger cut of the pie if Enstone disappears entirely... greed is a marvellous motivator, right up to the point there are only two cars on the 'grid' and nobody is watching.*
*For the hard of thinking, a snide dig not actual expectation.
Alpine should sell to Andretti. They’re a waste of space on the current grid.
Isn't it counterintuitive that "Renault is staying in F1 to promote new Alpine sport cars" when Alpine only reminds me of a bad F1 car?
Exactly! The A110 is really a good car...but the F1 team has muddied the brand appeal.
2:45 - So we have Briatore being the sales broker, and Eddie Jordan being the purchase broker?
Jordan talking it down so an unnamed client can buy it for less.
I doubt that. Flav wants as much money as possible for the sale to justify the existing valuation. If there is a case for it, they will go for it.
@@LawVS Fair. I’m just wondering if EJ has ulterior or secondary motives.
Great videos. I get why you do it, but the constantly changing colours do hurt the eyes.
It was the right decision. Rb is a junior team, even if he had more points, staying there is career suicide
He's getting close to his 30s, like Albon, and unfortunately regardless of how good I think they both are their careers have turned into something we've seen all too often in F1.
Wrong opportunities at the wrong time and end up being relegated to "smaller" teams for the rest of their careers, there's always been pilots like them, a relatively recent example could be Heidfeld.
I wondered why Ric left renault to go to mclaren . Mind you , he was p5 in the 2020 drivers championship ... you could say they've been on a downward spiral since he left .
Hitech, Prema & Andretti deserve to be in F1. Prema buys VCARB using Ferrari engines. Italian. Andretti or Hitech buys Alpine. And bring in another team. 12 teams in F1 is not a new thing. It’s a good thing! Bring back Brabham!
So does Andretti buy alpine what a story that would be
I wouldn't count on it. 1) Why would anyone buy the hot mess that Alpine are since they can't keep a Team Principal for more than a year? And 2) Liberty Media announced a few days ago that they are under investigation by the US Department of Justice's Antitrust Division in regards to the Andretti F1 rejection possibly violating US laws.
Great video as always
Alpine has dig its own grave when they appeared in 2021 like a youtuber said(f1 a la loupe), Renault Sport outside of be a team that was able to secure 4th and 5th in constructors between 2018 and 2020 behind the 3 monsters teams, was a french engineering promotion, something that permit us french to be proud of, be able to fight with the biggest industries in motorsports, but now its just a little sandwich advertising company who take a little bit there and there to try to continue to survive and keep be there for show themselves and try to sell cars that not that successful compared to Renault's.
Just like during Lotus period they will just sell takes and rebrand themselves with a little badge alpine to still looking to be there,
And wont use their engine that we doesnt know if its good or bad, if we doesnt try it.
Alpine become likes the football clubs who were big but fell off when they decided to watching their coins instead of the potential wins they could have(French mentality in many sports).
It always seems to go like this when a team is 100% French. Nice read how Prost GP did buy the Liver team.
I like the HiTech theory. I think Andretti are going to force there way in as the 11th team. At least they will if F1 wants to keep operating in the USA
All I can think is "god help the poor sods that buy a FRENCH F1 team..." when Renault laid off a whole bunch of people in the 80's... the workers didn't protest... they SHOT the guy who did it. There were active protests at the Monza race over the shutting down of the engine department... Even if it is a different name, it will still be a French outfit.
Is maybe a chance that all of these videos can be anything else than light drama?
Can't wait for the "Wait what F1 is a real sport! I thought it was made up for that Brad Pitt movie" comments.
So bloody true! It was obvious in the first interview I saw of him about his contract extension. He looked like a hostage doing a video at gunpoint. Poor fella
Otro Capital's original €200 million investment saw them acquire 24 per cent of the Formula 1 team. so you would be looking at around €600 million for remaining 76 per cent
Dicker(rodin) ‘probably screwed’ buying Williams
That other way has seen Dicker talking with Red Bull about AlphaTauri while he was also in the mix when Williams was up for sale in 2020.
But with Red Bull wanting close on $1bn for AlphaTauri, today he regrets not getting his hands on Williams which was bought by Dorilton Capital.
Great video keep it up you're doing amazing things also could you make a video about your top 5 or 10 favourite drivers of all time 😁👍
Not surprised if Carlos cant get a good seat better stay at Alpine than missing a season
8:20 problem is, They should want the team name to be Renault, not Alpine then the "Brad Pitt movie" are out.
What happens to the chi chi Ryan Reynolds and friend's investment in Alpine if Renault sells it?
Hopefully Andretti scoops them up
The monza 2020 reference. Nice!
Gasly can pull out epic qualies and races - but he doesn't do it consistently. ocon beat him, only by the tinniest margin, over the year, but it shows he's lucky to be on the grid now days and i think that's why he's accepted his fate at alpine. he's just happy to be here.
@LawVS has there been any update with Andretti and that whole situation with the American govt?
Why would he know exclusively before anyone else
0:49 as a ….. is what I heard
I really enjoy your videos, keep up the great work!
Renault has a great combustion-engine on par with the merc and honda. It's just that their ERS still kind of sucks
Jeremy Claksson should make a movie about beeing a nascar driver. Maybe that keep americans from thinking they understand F1.
The main problem for Pieere Gasley or any other driver is because there not called Hamilton
Renault were also below par during the V8 era until the engines were frozen
Not really
Got to admit your channel is growing on me. Subscribed
Pretty accurate Gasly impersonation
Renault should sell Alpine to Andretti
The A in Formula One is suppose to be Andretti instead of the abandoning Alpine now.
Gasly's my favorite driver, and he sees seem to be in such a pickle. Where could he conceivably go for 2026? I wish he could get another shot at a top team but it just doesn't feel like it's in the cards for him.
F2 engines are 650hp , Alpine would have to lose around 300 hp to be compared to one. Indy road racing cars are 750 -850 (push to pass) . The more you know 😁
Do u not get the reference?
Porsche wanted to fully buy a team but no team wanted it so maybe this is a chance?
I don’t see it at all. Porsche is owned by VAG, same as Audi. It would make no sense for them to have two works team’s competing against each other. Porsche and RB was always only going to be an engine partnership, with RB retaining majority control.
Aww man, I feel for Gasly.
How does 'Ricciardo wasn't listened to at Renault' gel with 'if a positive personality like Ricciardo had stayed at Renault they might be doing better' from your previous videos? Sounds like it's basically a dumpster fire and has been for years.
Had Daniel remained there for the long term, the culture might have continued to evolve for the better. The pull of Ricciardo would've energised the Renault board to invest more. Him going sucked a lot of joy out.
If Alpine will get sold PLEASE ANDRETTI IM BEGGING YOU
That would be smart thing to do, given that other teams won't let them get in on their own terms (because money).
Now, will Michael swallow his pride for two seconds and actually do that - it remains to be seen.
@@whyareyoureadingmynickname8158 It would be a shame because the series needs more teams and cars and Andretti seemed like the only viable option who could start a new team from scratch and be competitive rather than taking over an existing team. But I guess if buying Alpine is their only route into F1 they'll probably do it.
Toleman to Benetton to Renault to Lotus to Renault again to Alpine to Andretti. Boy that team's been through some rebrands.
it's never gonna happen.
@@JZUSKASO I know its just pure copium
Brilliant Channel!
Wait. Adrian Newey has a manager ? 😮
I hope Gasly develops an murica accent soon. Let andretti in!
You're Eddie Jordan accent was.. a thing that happened today 🤨
It’s his accent for basically everything
French thinking 🧐
11:25 a plea from a podcast listener, please drop the clicks. The woosh is fine, FWIW, but the click is just OTT without the visual context.
I do an actual podcast version on Spotify and Apple Music which is voice only.
@@LawVS thanks for reply and, of course, it's your call but I double checked my feed (acast) and even listened live from Apple, but clicks are there... Which is fine, again your call; just humble feedback. Come on sandvort! 😀
If I paid that high of an processing fee I'd fight F1 too.
Renault are just doing what Renault always do. They rock up with a really unreliable but killer car then quit. Oh wait ... this time around Renault have been all filler and no killer.
Mmm... it depends if Pierre knew about Renault's plans to axe their PU involvement BEFORE he committed to that multi-year deal. Given the clusterf*ck that is their upper management, it wouldn't surprise me if they did keep him in the dark about it.
Probably not. Up until recently, Pierre was a champion regarding being part of a works team...now he's gone suddenly quiet.
@@LawVS It would be fair to say then that Pierre simply had the proverbial rug pulled out from under him - I doubt I'd be alone in saying he deserves better. Ocon as well, to be fair.
The way I see it, getting rid of the engine is because they're planning on getting rid of the team.
Why are you in an attic?
Present 😂
Oh come on why don't you "F1 You Tube experts" address the elephant in the room. Current drivers on grid, only 2 possible world champions Max and Oscar, that's it..
I do though...
Gasly Audi... It even rhymes
DE MEOOOOOO! SELL THE ALPINE F1 TEAM TO ANDRETTI AND MY LIFE IS YOURS!
F1 plzzzz!!!!!! just ditch Alpine and get Andretti in the sport for gods sake come on!!! :S
Pierre Gasly? - nah
PR Gasly - yah
That movie will be a faliure it's on apple tv. No one watches Apple TV. All of the movies they have released have done very poorly.
I have Apple TV. Lots of people have Apple TV. There’s a lot of good shows maybe a lot don’t want to admit it. Still that movie seems cringe.
Who knows maybe Hyundai might buy Alpine out. Rumours have been circling about them being interested in F1 for a while now
Cope, seethe, mald, alpine
Instead of saying Gasly has made a mistake, it is more like he got no choices. His career so far suggests that he is a mid field driver as most. He struggled badly in Red Bull despite having a 2 years spell in Torro Rosso and 1 year in Super Formula, he was also getting beaten by Yuki quite a lot of times in 2022, that's why he is not desirable
Law is becoming a Estie bestie
In the nicest way possible, don't you think you're smelling your own farts a bit?
Pierre is in a holding-pattern. Him and Carlos are that type of driver who are in between a real number one and an amazing number two. Something will come around
I hope something nuts happens like, an ARAB team buys them and moves them to Saudi Arabia, or Lamborghini buys them and moves them to Italy, or my favorite, Jeff Besos buys them and moves them to The Bay Area, JUST TO PISS OFF THE BRITISH, there are other countries that can have a racing team you know, its called GROWTH, not every stupid team needs to be in England, thank you.. hell move them to Mumbai, that would be great. 😂
🤣🤣
@user-ch3hs3rv8h as long as a team says, yeah FU Europe I'm in. 😅😂
