A further seat on the 2025 Formula 1 grid has been snapped up following an announcement on Thursday morning.

Esteban Ocon and Alpine confirmed that they would be parting ways at the end of the season earlier this month.

However, it will not be a completely new lineup for the Enstone-based outfit next season, with the team confirming that Ocon's current team-mate, Pierre Gasly, has signed a contract extension.

The Frenchman has signed a multi-year deal to extend his stay which will take him into 2025 and beyond.

“I feel very much at home at this great team. I enjoy being a real part of both the Formula 1 project and the wider Alpine Cars vision," Gasly said in a team statement.

"I’ve been officially here for over 18 months and it has always been the plan to build a long-term project with the team. While on track it’s been a challenging season so far, I remain faithful to the project and I am not going anywhere.

"I am happy with the changes made, the hard work, and the direction the team is taking. There is a lot of potential in this team’s personnel and resources.

"I’m excited for what is to come in the future and right now I’m focusing on the everyday details that we are putting in to improve our performances.”

Alpine had struggled for pace early in 2024, but in recent races, has recorded consecutive double points finishes.

The French team added that they will confirm Gasly's team-mate for 2025 and beyond in due course.
