Aussie Oscar Piastri to drive for McLaren, not Alpine in 2023

Australian Oscar Piastri will drive for Formula One team McLaren and not Alpine next year motor car racing's governing body the International Motoring Federation (FIA) announced on Friday.

The 21-year-old had been caught up in a fight between Alpine and McLaren with the former claiming Piastri had a contract to drive for them and even announcing him as part of their 2023 line-up.

However, a FIA arbitration panel judged in McLaren's favour.
