It was recently revealed that Lewis Hamilton would be leaving Mercedes at the end of this year to move to Ferrari. This has left the Silver Arrows in a tough position to find the Briton’s replacement. Now, rumours suggest that Alpine driver Pierre Gasly has his sights on the second seat at Mercedes.

The French driver made his debut back in 2017 with Toro Rosso, and since then his career trajectory has been filled with ups and downs. The 28-year-old was a part of the Red Bull family and left them in 2022 in favour of Alpine. However, with the shock departure of the seven-time champion, Gasly has been talked up to to replace him at Brackley.

It's the last year of the contract. At the minute, my main focus is with Alpine. I'm fully on board with the team. We know what we signed for, that's what I'm fully working on.
