F1 News: Pierre Gasly Highlights Evolution Of Sport After United States Takeover

Pierre Gasly speaks out on the evolution of Formula One in America.

Alpine driver Pierre Gasly has spoken about how Formula One has evolved since the popularity boom in America. 

Netflix's Drive to Survive catapulted the sport in the US which has led to the Miami and Las Vegas Grands Prix being added to the jam-packed calendar.

During an exclusive interview organised by Binance with F1 Briefings, Gasly spoke about how the sport has evolved over the years since the release of Drive to Survive. He explained:

"There was definitely an evolution, I wouldn’t say a change, but an evolution because the sport has developed in all ways of communication with all of the platforms that are available nowadays, whether it’s streaming platforms or social media platforms. There is just so much more content going out there which brings a lot of light to our sport and also especially to us F1 drivers.

"The community is growing, the fan base is growing. It’s funny because you always hear ‘I’m a Formula 1 fan either from before Netflix or after Netflix’ and it’s almost like people relate to that as a turning point in our sport.

"The exposure is huge, there is a lot more people talking about us, about Formula One. Also in terms of exposure from, whether it's fans or whether its brands, a lot more brands want to interact with Formula One and want to be a part of it. It just shows the great success we are having as a sport and I hope it continues."
