The Frenchman went back to Toro Rosso determined to prove that Red Bull were wrong to demote him. And on one magical day at Monza in 2020, Gasly proved that fairy tales can happen in F1, seizing his opportunity in a chaotic race to capture one of the more emotional victories of recent times.

The vision of him sitting alone on the podium, tear-filled eyes skywards as he looked to the heavens thinking about his late compatriot and close friend Anthoine Hubert, put a lump in everyone's throat.

Gasly may never return to Red Bull, but has relished his second chance to lead AlphaTauri's rise into legitimate midfield contender.
