Pierre Gasly has raced the Azerbaijan Grand Prix eight times and scored on exactly two of them. Those two afternoons, back to back in 2021 and 2022, account for every single point on his Baku record.
Eight starts, 25 points, one podium. Everything either side of that two-year window is a blank.
Two seasons of everything, five of nothing
2021 is the high point: fourth on the grid, third at the flag, fifteen points, on an afternoon when the race in front of him came apart late. 2022 followed it up with fifth from sixth on the grid, another ten points. Both came with the team now racing as Racing Bulls.
Before that, nothing. Twelfth on debut here in 2018, then 2019, which is the strangest line on the sheet: he started from the pit lane in a Red Bull and retired with a transmission failure.
Since the move to Alpine it has gone quiet again. Fourteenth in 2023, twelfth in 2024, eighteenth and lapped in 2025, from grid slots of seventeenth, eighteenth and eighteenth. 2026 finally broke the qualifying pattern and then wasted it: seventh on the grid, his best Saturday here since 2021, and out on lap 35.

A record that hinges on the car
No win, no pole and no fastest lap, and the entire scoring half of this record fits inside two seasons. Read it next to his qualifying positions and the explanation is mostly not subtle: he scored when he started fourth and sixth, and stopped scoring when he stopped starting there. 2026 was the exception that did not help.
Eight visits in, the A526 gave him the grid slot and the afternoon took it away. Both Alpines retired in 2026, Gasly on lap 35 and Franco Colapinto a lap later.
