Alpine team boss Otmar Szafnauer said Pierre Gasly had been chosen to replace Fernando Alonso due to meeting all the team's criteria to a tee. | Sport24news

The Alpine boss was then asked when they started looking for Alonso's replacement, and he answered:"It was maybe a week or so. Not even. I mean, shortlist first.

Daniel Ricciardo had been linked to joining Alpine at one stage, and Szafnauer admitted there had been a list of drivers that were discussed. "He's experienced, fast, and young. So, when it became evident that Pierre was a possibility, we made our shortlist even shorter," he said. "Yeah, I mean, we made an informed decision. And that means talking to the entire team, including Esteban, beforehand to make sure that if we did make a decision, it's a team sport, and we have to be able to work together and optimise.
