Alpine Formula 1 driver Pierre Gasly secured his first career pole position during qualifying for the Italian Grand Prix at Monza on Saturday, beating Mercedes driver George Russell to the top spot by just 0.060 seconds.
Gasly appeared as surprised as anyone by the result, reacting enthusiastically over his team radio immediately after the session concluded. The achievement marks a significant moment at Monza, where Gasly previously stunned the field, and comes during the first year of new 2026 technical regulations in a season largely dominated by the frontrunning Mercedes pair.
