Under Franz Tost’s supervision, AlphaTauri will have achieved the feat of winning two Grand Prix, both at Monza. The first in 2008, with a certain Sebastian Vettel behind the wheel, and the second in 2020, with the young French driver, Pierre Gasly.<\/p>\n
Interviewed on Canal +, the principal of AlphaTauri team reflects on his collaborations with French drivers under his command. \u00ab I loved working with these French drivers. We even had success with one of them, Pierre Gasly at Monza.<\/p>\n
He thinks back in particular to the first French driver he had under his command in the early years of Toro Rosso in Formula 1. \u00ab I also had a great time with S\u00e9bastien Bourdais. We had a little less luck with him, since Sebastian Vettel was his teammate, but overall, he did a good job \u00bb.<\/p>\n
The Austrian director also did not forget Jean-\u00c9ric Vergne, for whom he hoped for better results in Formula 1, and to whom he recognized impressive qualities. \u00ab Vergne too, a high-level driver with natural speed and incredible talent. \u00bb<\/p>\n
I would have liked him to stay longer in Formula 1 because he could have had a good career. He was really fast. He actually showed it in Formula E and at the 24 Hours of Le Mans.<\/p>\n
Franz Tost will therefore leave the world of F1 this Sunday, after 18 seasons at the helm of AlphaTauri.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
