He was born on 7 February 1996 in Rouen, Normandy. He raced karts from the age of six; in 2011, his first season in single-seaters, he finished third in French Formula 4. In 2013 he won the Formula Renault 2.0 Eurocup, and that title opened the door to the Red Bull junior programme. In 2014 he was runner-up in Formula Renault 3.5.
He became GP2 champion with Prema in 2016, beating his team-mate Antonio Giovinazzi to the title. In 2017 he went to Japan’s Super Formula with Team Mugen and won two races in a row, at Motegi and Autopolis, but lost the title to Hiroaki Ishiura by half a point, 33 to 33.5. The final round at Suzuka was cancelled because of a typhoon, so that half-point could never be settled on track.
He made his debut for Toro Rosso at the Malaysian Grand Prix on 1 October 2017 in place of Daniil Kvyat, starting 15th and finishing 14th. He raced in five Grands Prix before the end of 2017, fitting them around the closing rounds of the Super Formula season. From 2018 he was a full-time Toro Rosso race driver, in the team’s first season of its partnership with Honda. His first points came at the Bahrain Grand Prix on 8 April 2018: fourth place from fifth on the grid — Honda’s best result since returning to the championship in 2015.
In 2019 he got a seat at Red Bull alongside Max Verstappen; his best result was fourth at the British Grand Prix on 14 July 2019. After the Hungarian Grand Prix the team sent him back to Toro Rosso, swapping him with Alexander Albon, and his first race back was the Belgian Grand Prix on 1 September 2019. At the Brazilian Grand Prix on 17 November 2019 he started sixth and finished second — his first career podium.
On 6 September 2020 he won the Italian Grand Prix for AlphaTauri, as Toro Rosso had been called since that season. He started 10th. After Charles Leclerc’s crash the race was red-flagged, and Lewis Hamilton was penalised for entering the closed pit lane; at the restart Gasly found himself in front and held off Carlos Sainz by four tenths of a second. It was the first win by a French driver in the championship since Olivier Panis at the Monaco Grand Prix on 19 May 1996.
On 6 June 2021 he finished third at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix after starting fourth. Twice more that season he finished fourth — at the Dutch Grand Prix on 5 September and the Mexico City Grand Prix on 7 November 2021 — and he ended the year ninth in the Drivers’ Championship.
On 8 October 2022 Alpine announced that he would join them from the 2023 season; Red Bull released him early from his AlphaTauri contract. His team-mate was Esteban Ocon. He finished his first race for the team, the Bahrain Grand Prix on 5 March 2023, in ninth place after starting 20th. On 27 August 2023 he finished third at the Dutch Grand Prix from 12th on the grid.
On 3 November 2024 he was third at a rain-soaked São Paulo Grand Prix, where Alpine took a double podium: Ocon second, Gasly third. On 6 September 2025, the Saturday of the Italian Grand Prix, the team announced that his contract had been extended to the end of the 2028 season.
In 2026 he races for Alpine alongside Franco Colapinto; from this season the team uses Mercedes power units. The season brought in the new technical regulations, with active aerodynamics and power units that draw around half their output from the electrical side. His first points of the year came at the Australian Grand Prix on 8 March 2026 with 10th place, and on 15 March 2026 he finished sixth in China.
On 5 September 2026, in qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza, he lapped in 1:21.786 to take the first pole of his career, 0.060 seconds ahead of George Russell; in the race on 6 September 2026 he finished seventh. On 13 September 2026 he raced in the Spanish Grand Prix at the new Madrid circuit, finishing 12th.
