Pierre Gasly (born 7 February 1996) is a French born racing driver, who took part in the 2016/17 FIA Formula E Championship for Renault e.Dams.[1] Standing in for title contending Sébastien Buemi at the two New York ePrix, Gasly produced an admirable display, beating temporary teammate Nicolas Prost in both races.[2]

Background[]

Gasly would start his racing career at the age of ten, entering several karting championships, culminating in a campaign in the CIK-FIA European Championship in 2010.[3] After finishing runner up in the CIK series, Gasly was offered a drive in the French F4 Championship.[3] His first season in single seater racing cars would go well, with Gasly challenging for the French F4 title throughout 2011.[3]

A Red Bull Future[]

Gasly was promoted to the Formula Renault Eurocup in 2012, taking several podium finishes.[3] His second season saw the Frenchman win the series will three wins to his name, earning a drive in the Formula Renault 3.5 Series for 2014.[3] His prize would also include an invitation to join the Red Bull Junior Team, a programme by Red Bull Racing to develop young talent.[3]

Gasly was fast tracked to the GP2 Series during 2014, despite missing out on the Formula Renault 3.5 Series title.[3] Having made a couple of GP2 appereances in 2014, Gasly was offered a full-time seat at Dams for 2015, partnering Alex Lynn.[3] Inconsistency throughout the season meant Gasly finished the season below Lynn, although he was called up to be the Red Bull Racing reserve driver mid-way through the season.[3]

2016 would prove to be the best season of Gasly's junior career, the Frenchman sweeping to the title with four wins after a change of teams.[3] His success made him the prime candidate to take over a seat at either Red Bull Racing or Scuderia Toro Rosso in Formula One, although there were no seats available at the start of 2017.[3] Gasly would therefore opt to campaign in the Japanese Super Formula Championship, while remaining a test driver for Red Bull in F1.[3]

Formula E History[]

Gasly would be drafted into the Renault e.Dams team as a stand-in for Sébastien Buemi, who was to miss the two New York ePrix due to his World Endurance Championship commitments.[1] Gasly duly linked up with the team in New York, driving the #9 pair of cars for the first time during the shakedown session in the buildup to the weekend.[4]

In spite of his inexperience however, Gasly would produce a refined debut display, beating teammate Nicolas Prost in both races.[2] Indeed, Gasly was on target for a podium spot in the second New York ePrix, but a tap on the wall on the final lap while fighting left him to limp across the line in fourth.
