The football-loving Alpine driver opens up about why he invested in French team FC Versailles and needing more in his life than 'just Formula 1'.
In a parallel universe, Pierre Gasly is a professional football player often daydreaming about how far he could have gone in racing, if he had only continued his career in karting. In this universe, however, the French F1 driver every so often wonders if he could be playing for his favourite club, Paris Saint-Germain, had he made a different decision in his teenage years. If you follow Pierre Gasly on Instagram, you know the 28 year old from Rouen is a huge fan of football.
But also in Formula 1, you’ve got to get everyone together and very united as a team, and you’ve got to be very transparent and honest, and you’ve got to have everybody working towards the same target. So I think that team mentality was very good to have from a young age. Karting is more individual. At the time it was only my dad and myself. So you’re not really looking after a team behind you.
