Pierre Jean-Jacques Gasly (French pronunciation: [pjɛʁ ɡasli]; born 7 February 1996) is a French racing driver who competes in Formula One for Alpine. Gasly won the 2020 Italian Grand Prix with AlphaTauri.

Born and raised in Normandy, Gasly began competitive kart racing aged 10. Graduating to junior formulae in 2011, Gasly finished third in the French F4 Championship that year with the FFSA Academy. He won his first championship at the Formula Renault Eurocup in 2013 with Tech 1. Gasly then progressed to the GP2 Series, winning the championship in 2016 with Prema amid a close title battle with Antonio Giovinazzi. He moved to Super Formula the following year, finishing runner-up to Hiroaki Ishiura with Mugen, and debuted in Formula E at the New York City ePrix for Renault e.dams.

A member of the Red Bull Junior Team since 2014, Gasly made his Formula One debut with Toro Rosso at the 2017 Malaysian Grand Prix, replacing Daniil Kvyat for the remainder of the 2017 season. He completed a full-time move to Toro Rosso for 2018, before being promoted to parent team Red Bull in 2019. Gasly was demoted after the Hungarian Grand Prix, replaced by Alexander Albon; he achieved his maiden podium at the Brazilian Grand Prix that year with Toro Rosso. In 2020, Gasly took his maiden victory at the Italian Grand Prix whilst driving for the re-branded AlphaTauri. He achieved a third podium for the team at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix in 2021. Gasly moved to Alpine for his 2023 campaign, scoring his first podium for the team at the Dutch Grand Prix, repeating this feat at the rain-affected São Paulo Grand Prix in 2024.

As of the 2025 Mexico City Grand Prix, Gasly has achieved one race win, three fastest laps and five podiums in Formula One. Gasly is contracted to remain at Alpine until at least the end of the 2028 season.

Pierre Jean-Jacques Gasly was born on 7 February 1996 in Rouen, France, to father Jean-Jacques Gasly and mother Pascale. Gasly is the youngest of five and has four half brothers: two maternal from his mother's previous marriage, Nicolas Caron and Cyril Caron; and two paternal from his father's previous marriage, Phillipe Gasly and Paul Gasly. Gasly was raised Christian and routinely makes the sign of the cross to bless himself before races.[better source needed]

Gasly's family has long been involved in motorsports. His grandfather competed in karting, his grandmother a kart champion, and his father Jean Jacques has also competed in various categories of racing including karting, endurance racing and rallying. His father stopped rallying when he 'fell off [a] mountain' after his co-driver made a mistake reading the pace note. At the age of six, Gasly first experienced karting at a local karting track in Anneville-Ambourville. He was 13 years old when he left Rouen for Le Mans after his commitment for competitive racing.

Gasly grew up alongside Anthoine Hubert; karting with him since the age of seven, being educated at the same private school and having resided together as roommates for several years. He has been close friends with Charles Leclerc and Esteban Ocon since a young age. However, his relationship with Ocon deteriorated during their karting career. In 2019 he moved to Milan. Besides his native French, Gasly also speaks Italian and English.

Gasly has been dating Francisca Gomes since October 2022. Gomes is a model and influencer and she is signed to the Portugal-based modeling agency Central Models. The couple went official in the start of 2023.
