While most drivers have been fine-tuning their fitness or testing out their new team gear, the Frenchman has taken a different approach to his 2024 preparation: a fresh hair transplant.
Gasly, who for years masked his receding hairline with a carefully crafted brush-forward hairstyle, has finally taken the plunge and joined the growing list of F1 drivers embracing the world of hair restoration.
Over the summer break, he stepped out with a newly shaved head and a noticeably refined hairline, leaving little doubt that he’d undergone the procedure. Given the typical regrowth timeline of two to three months, it’s likely he had it done either before the season ended or immediately after.
Regardless, it’s a bold move, and one that has fans talking.
F1’s Secret Club of Hair Transplants
Gasly isn’t the first Formula One driver to make a pit stop at the hair clinic.
Lewis Hamilton, the sport’s biggest style icon, once battled a rapidly retreating hairline before making a miraculous turnaround. Though he’s never publicly confirmed it, the transformation was evident—no shampoo or supplement works that magic.
Now, Hamilton’s full head of hair is as much a part of his image as his ever-evolving wardrobe. As for Gasly, if history is anything to go by, his new locks will only add to his growing confidence on and off the track.

Why Turkey Is the Hair Transplant Capital of the World
Gasly, like thousands of men every year, likely flew to Turkey for the procedure. The country has become the global hub for hair transplants, offering world-class treatments at a fraction of the cost compared to Western countries.
The process involves extracting healthy hair follicles from the back or sides of the head and relocating them to thinning areas where they’re resistant to hair loss.
The procedure itself is relatively quick, but post-op recovery requires patience—including the dreaded upright sleeping position for the first few nights. With the stigma around hair transplants rapidly fading, the treatment has become as common as cosmetic enhancements for women.
If Gasly’s results are anything like Hamilton’s, we might just see more drivers joining the hair restoration revolution.
