As Formula 1 continues to blend with the pop culture world, Pierre Gasly has now made the headlines with his appearance at the 76th Cannes Film Festival, which is being held between 16th to 27th May in France. The gala affair is an invite-only event, and the biggest celebrities from all over the world have flocked at the Palace of Festivals and Congresses of Cannes to celebrate the cinematic marvels of this year and also the past. Shining brightly amidst the stars were F1’s own Gasly, alongwith his stunning girlfriend Francisca Cerqueira Gomes.
Francisca, a Portuguese model who was born on January 14, 2003, was first spotted with Alpine racer Pierre Gasly last year when they were on a date at a nightclub in Porto. Since then, the French racer has appeared quite a number of times on Francisca’s Instagram page which has a massive fan following with over 320,000 fans. And now, at the Cannes Film Festival of this year, the young couple made a red-carpet appearance at the screening of the French film “La Passion De Dodin Bouffant”.
On Wednesday, May 24, right ahead of the Monaco Grand Prix where Pierre Gasly is slated to make his sixth appearance as an Alpine racer, he walked down the Red carpet alongside his girlfriend Francisca”Kika” Cerqueira Gomes at the Palais des Festivals. Kika had donned a gorgeous black dress with a slit that was being held together by ropes, and she paired the outfit with a ponytail and some fierce, smoky eyes.
Pierre Gasly was not the only F1 racer present at the Cannes
While this weekend is going to be a tough one for the F1 drivers as the prestigious and historic Monaco Grand Prix awaits them, the Alpine duo seems to take no pressure. While Pierre Gasly appeared at the Cannes Film Festival with his girlfriend Kika, his teammate at the Faenza-based outfit, Esteban Ocon, also posted his Cannes picture on Instagram. Ocon was there with his mother, Sabrine Khelfane, for the screening of Wes Anderson’s recent film ‘Asteroid City’. Also present to take part in the Cannes festivities was current Championship leader Max Verstappen’s girlfriend, Kelly Piquet.
In other news, the Monaco Grand Prix is only a few days away, and this will prove crucial for the Alpine squad. They are currently in the sixth spot on the World Constructors’ Championship standings, and their points are equal with McLaren’s. Should the French team perform better than the papaya army at Saturday’s Qualifiers in Monaco, they can grab some good points for the team as hardly any overtakes happen in the narrow street circuit of the principality.
