Pierre Gasly is one of the most popular and richest Race Car Driver who was born on February 7, 1996 in France, Rouen, France. As a professional driver, he has competed in the Formula One races much like Juan Manuel Fangio, Alain Prost, and Jim Clark.
Gasly entered karting in 2006, when he finished fifteenth in the French Minime Championship, before he finished fourth the following year. In 2008 he stepped up to the French Cadet Championship, before moving to the international scene in 2009. He moved into the KF3 category, staying until the end of 2010, when he finished as runner-up in the CIK-FIA European Championship.
During the remainder of the season at Toro Rosso, Gasly achieved five points finishes, including a 9th-place finish at his first race back at the team in Belgium. His best performance came at the chaotic Brazilian Grand Prix. Gasly qualified in 7th place and took advantage of retirements from Valtteri Bottas and both Ferrari drivers, as well as a collision between Lewis Hamilton and Alexander Albon, to finish the race in 2nd place after holding off Hamilton in a straight drag to the finish line. This marked the first podium finish of Gasly’s Formula One career, Toro Rosso’s best race result since the 2008 Italian Grand Prix, and Honda’s first 1–2 finish since the 1991 Japanese Grand Prix. On his cool-down lap, Gasly remarked over the radio: “This is the best day of my life”. He finished the season in 7th place in the championship with 95 points.
He was born and raised in Rouen, France.
He has won several championship titles including the 2013 Eurocup Formula Renault 2.0.
