A reason may have been found for Pierre Gasly having “upset a few people at Red
Bull” – it’s claimed he is eyeing a Renault drive.
After the Eifel Grand Prix, Sky Sports pundit Paul di Resta somewhat reluctantly
revealed a “paddock whisper” that Gasly had metaphorically put a few noses ou
t of joint in the Red Bull organisation, having been dropped from their senior t
eam last year.
Switched with Alex Albon, the Frenchman has rebounded from the disappointment by
compiling a superb 2020 campaign with AlphaTauri, highlighted, of course, by hi
s remarkable victory in the Italian Grand Prix at Monza.
Gasly’s results this year have prompted suggestions that he and struggling Albo
n could be swapped back – but it may not be that straightforward, with Di Resta
’s comments and also a news report from Switzerland indicating as much.
Swiss media outlet Blick, in an article sub-titled ‘Transfer chaos gets bigger
and bigger’ have suggested Gasly “is even supposed to negotiate with Renault f
or the seat next to comeback star Fernando Alonso (drove 21 laps in the current
Renault on Tuesday as part of a filming day in Barcelona) – for compatriot Este
ban Ocon.”
Clearly this would be a contentious move as Gasly and Ocon were former karting r
ivals and best friends, but their relationship took a downturn when their career
s began to develop towards F1 and they appear to be nowhere near as close as the
y used to be.

And for Ocon, to be pushed out after one year by a rival and compatriot of the s
ame age, it would be difficult to bear.
However, Ocon’s results since replacing Nico Hulkenberg for this season can gen
erally be described as underwhelming.
The 24-year-old has been continually outperformed by his team-mate Daniel Riccia
rdo, who gave Renault their first podium finish since 2011 at the Eifel Grand Pr
ix.
In fairness, Ocon has suffered more reliability issues than the Australian, but
a qualifying record of 10-1 in Ricciardo’s favour speaks volumes, the exception
being on a wet track for the Styrian Grand Prix.
From the Renault perspective, if this rumour was borne out, they would have two
race winners in their team as they prepare to be rebranded Alpine for 2021.
For Ocon, who has a contract with Renault until the end of 2021, there is the se
curity of knowing he remains under the management of Mercedes, albeit – unlike
George Russell – he is no longer a part of their junior team.
