Pierre Gasly unwell and absent from media day at F1 Italian Grand Prix amid Alpine rumours
The AlphaTauri driver will not face reporters’ questions on Thursday after the✅ team ann🌌ounced: “Following doctors advice,Pierre Gasly will not be on track today as he’s currently unwell.”
There is no mention of whether he will be fit to drive in🐠 Practice on Friday. Liam Lawson is their reserve driver on ൲standby.

Esteban Ocon is already signed up so Alpine, the French team, are targeting a line-up of two French drivers - admittedly a duo 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历🐻史:who haven’t always had the best of relatio⭕nships.
But this significant switch for the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 season hinges on American IndyCar driver Colton Herta’s ability to land a superlicence, enabling him to take Gasly’ဣs AlphꦬaTauri seat.
Christian Horner, the Red Bull team prꦆincipal, said about 𓄧the situation at their sister team AlphaTauri: “That’s the key element.
“We aren’t goin﷽g to replace Pierre unless we have something exciting to put in that car.”
