Pierre Gasly: Red Bull replace Daniel Ricciardo with Frenchman for 2019 season
Last updated on .From the section Formula 1

French driver Pierre Gasly will replace the departing Daniel Ricciardo at Red Bull next season, the Formula 1 team have announced.
The 22-year-old, who drives for Red Bull's junior team Toro Rosso, will line up alongside Max Verstappen.
Australian Ricciardo will leave for Renault at the end of this season.
"This incredible opportunity is another step forward in my ambition to win grands prix and compete for world championships," said Gasly.
He only made his F1 debut at the Malaysian Grand Prix last October, but has scored 26 points for Toro Rosso this year, with a best finish of fourth in Bahrain.
Red Bull have struggled for consistency this year, but have won three races - two by Ricciardo and one by Verstappen.
"Red Bull has always looked to fight for championships or victories and that's what I want," added Gasly.

Would love Gasly to upset the odds and beat him, even though it's wishful thinking
I hope he does well in the senior team. Good luck to him.
But being a teammate with Verstappen? We shall see. As others have noted, it's not like MV will help in him any way.
Oddly enough, I think Pierre is more mature than ol' Max!
I wish Gasly the best of luck, and hope he can stand his ground against Verstappen
2 or 3 I would say.
F1 where drivers make damp cardboard look charismatic and full of personality

You should see the abuse that Lewis Hamilton gets for doing things - having a celebrity lifestyle - outside of F1
He is hardly devoid of personality or charisma, given how much some people hate him and everything he does
Good luck to Gasly. Hopefully, he'll stay calm and score points
