Oscar Piastri and Alpine most likely have a long legal tussle ahead, but could it end badly for the young Australian? F1
But with Piastri adamant he won’t be an Alpine driver next season, either he has been given awful guidance – advice that could leave him without a race-seat at all for 2023 – or he is aware of the date.That is very often the deadline in Formula 1 contracts to take up an option, the driver then becoming a free agent on August 1st.
Alonso only informed Alpine of his move on August 1st meaning if that date is in Piastri’s contract, he would have been free to pen to paper on a McLaren deal. Free from Alpine, but are McLaren free?It has been reported for a while now that Piastri’s manager Mark Webber had an eye on McLaren, pushing for the 21-year-old to replace the under-fire Ricciardo.
If it is none of the above, Piastri has just thrown away a Formula 1 drive with Alpine for a reserve role at McLaren in the hope of a 2024 promotion. Tuesday’s shenanigans are just the start of what could be a drawn-out affair. One in which neither Alpine nor Piastri may win.
