Pierre Gasly has never hidden his respect for Christian Horner, whom he brought together briefly but intensely at Red Bull in 2019. Questioned during the GP of Belgium, the Alpine driver claims that he is not surprised by the future of the British leader.
“I think that his qualities are undeniable, especially when we have won such a number of championships in 20 years of career. We can only respect all the successes of the team, and what he has accomplished with Red Bull Racing is really remarkable and impressive. He excels in what he does with the team.” Declares the French pilot, Source: nextgen-auto.com
An undeniable reputation
With more than two decades spent building the Red Bull Racing Empire, Christian Horner remains one of the most experienced and respected profiles of the paddock. For Pierre Gasly, there is no doubt that his future remains linked to Formula 1.
“I am sure that we will see him again somewhere, because with his experience and skills, I am sure that certain teams will be interested in Christian.” Explains Pierre Gasly, Source: nextgen-auto.com
In other words, the ex-boss may not have turned the page on the paddock: he could simply be about to write a new chapter elsewhere.
For Pierre Gasly, one thing is certain: this departure is not a final farewell. With an impressive track record and a still lively influence in the paddock, Horner remains an essential figure in modern F1. His return, under another banner, is no longer a hypothesis … but almost obvious.
