Oscar Piastri to race for McLaren in 2023 after team win dispute against Alpine

Oscar Piastri will race for McLaren next year after the British team won its legal dispute against Alpine.

Fernando Alonso’s move to Aston Martin to replace Sebastian Vettel saw Alpine announce that the highly-rated Piastri (21) would be promoted from his role as reserve driver.

But Piastri later said he would not be driving for Alpine after, and unbeknown to the French team, he had signed a deal with McLaren to take the ousted Daniel Ricciardo’s seat.
