Pierre Gasly, the Alpine F1 driver, is widely known for his great passion for football. He recently took a step further to show his love for the sport by acquiring a minority stake in a French team. The team in question is FC Versailles, a third division club in the French football structure. Although the exact percentage of the stake remains undisclosed, Gasly is thrilled to become a co-owner of the team and is looking forward to the future.
Gasly’s enthusiasm for football is evident through his active involvement in the sport. He has attended matches of various football clubs and even received a number 10 shirt from Arsenal Football Club, for which he expressed gratitude on his Instagram account.
Despite his recent foray into team ownership, Gasly’s performance in the 2024 F1 season has been disappointing. The Alpine team, including Gasly and his teammate, have been facing difficulties due to the underperforming A524 car. This has led to criticism from prominent figures in the F1 community. Gasly has only managed to secure a 20th place and did not finish (DNF) in the first two races of the season. The upcoming Australian Grand Prix weekend is expected to present more challenges for both drivers.
