The intensity of the British Grand Prix weekend was still fresh in the memory when Pierre Gasly took on a very different challenge. Just days after securing a double points finish for Alpine alongside teammate Franco Colapinto, the Frenchman made an appearance at the iconic Goodwood Festival of Speed.
There, the Alpine driver got the opportunity to get behind the wheel of his team's fully electric A110 Future prototype. Gasly piloted the special machine up the famous hillclimb, an annual highlight of the festival.
It was not just the car that was special; Gasly had distinguished company in the passenger seat. He brought the Duke of Richmond along for the demonstration run, lending an extra touch of prestige to the experience.
For Gasly, it offered a welcome change of pace after Formula 1 racing while highlighting Alpine's vision for future electric performance, linking his racing duties with the parent company's innovations.
