Pierre Gasly, Alpine driver in Formula 1, has become a co-owner of the French football club FC Versailles 78. The club, located on the outskirts of Paris, was formed in 1989 through the merger of Racing Club Versailles and Companion Sports Versailles. Gasly joins president Alexandre Mulliez and Fabien Lazare as equal shareholders in FC Versailles. Gasly expressed his excitement in getting involved in professional football and shared his admiration for French champions PSG. The partnership aims to develop the club and fulfill their shared values and ambitions. Mulliez believes Gasly’s involvement will contribute positively to their goals, especially considering his passion for F1.
Gasly’s decision to invest in FC Versailles comes at a challenging time for his Alpine team, which is currently struggling in the Constructors’ Championship. Nevertheless, Gasly remains optimistic and believes the team is determined to improve their performance. During a recent visit to the Enstone headquarters, Gasly had discussions with various team members to explore ways to enhance their situation. He also shared his feedback on the car’s performance during the team meeting. Gasly recognizes the team’s hunger and motivation to overcome their challenges and looks forward to gaining a greater understanding of their capabilities at the upcoming Australian Grand Prix.
