Fernando Alonso says he is "sad" to be implicated in a conspiracy surrounding the ongoing Oscar Piastri affair.
Alpine team chief Otmar Szafnauer on Friday accused the team's reserve driver Oscar Piastri of lacking "integrity" as a row over his future continued to dominate paddock gossip at the Belgian Grand Prix. Piastri, a 21-year-old Australian who has won the Formula Three and Two titles in successive seasons en route to a F1 career, is at the centre of a contract dispute involving Alpine as he seeks to break free. Alpine claim that Piastri, managed by compatriot and former F1 driver Mark Webber, signed a contract with them for 2023, which he has rejected as he bids to move elsewhere.
Fernando Alonso has cited Alpine’s lack of faith in him as the reason why he decided to leave the team for Aston Martin.
Jean Alesi believes that Fernando Alonso can still be a winner in Formula 1 at Aston Martin, with the Spaniard heading there for 2023.
LONDON : Alpine could seek millions in compensation at the London High Court if their Australian reserve Oscar Piastri refuses to race for them next season, team principal Otmar Szafnauer told Reuters on Monday.
Alpine reserve driver Oscar Piastri will reportedly replace countryman Daniel Riccardo at McLaren for the 2023 season, according to RacingNews365.com.
Another day, another Ferrari disaster
