On whether Ocon’s impending exit from the team will have any effect on his own plans for 2025, Gasly responded: “To be honest, absolutely nothing. I think at the minute it’s quite clear the position I’m in, and for my future at the moment I have nothing really to announce. You guys will know in due time.”
While there have been several key moves in the driver market across recent weeks and months, Gasly says that he has not set himself a deadline for deciding on his next steps.
“I think the market at the moment is quite open and everybody is aware of what opportunities are out there,” he added. “At the moment I don’t really have too much detail on that. Everything is going well and I’m in discussions, and that’s about it.”

It proved to be an eventful weekend for Alpine last time out in Monaco, with Ocon being handed a five-place grid drop for Canada after clashing with Gasly on the opening lap of the race. Ocon later apologised for the incident, while Gasly stated that a “clear instruction” from the team “wasn’t respected” by Ocon.
Pushed on whether any directives will be reinforced for the upcoming event in Montreal, Gasly remarked: “I think the directives were pretty clear in Monaco – unfortunately it’s not what happened on track, but I’m pretty confident moving forward that we won’t face any issues.”
Despite the dramatic intra-team collision – which forced Ocon to retire from the race due to damage sustained to his A524 – Gasly went on to score his debut point of the season with a P10 result, having also made it into Q3 of qualifying for the first time in 2024.
