Alpine Announces Oscar Piastri For 2023, Only For The F1 Rookie To Publicly Deny Any Agreement | Carscoops carscoops
But just a few hours later, the Australian driver and F2 champion made a post on social media saying that he hasn’t got a contract with the team and he will not be driving for them next year.
I understand that, without my agreement, Alpine F1 have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am driving for them next year. This is wrong and I have not signed a contract with Alpine for 2023. I will not be driving for Alpine next year.It is true that Alpine’s press release didn’t include a quote from the driver, which is quite uncommon. However, Piastri had a close relationship with Alpine, receiving financial support for his preparation to join the F1 grid.
Despite Piastri’s rejection, Otmar Szafnauer, team principal of Alpine insisted on the plan by saying: “We do have the right to take him. We have a priority”. At the same time,suggest that Piastri will be driving for McLaren in 2023, potentially replacing fellow Australian Daniel Ricciardo. All this mess will likely need to be resolved in F1’s Contracts Recognition Board if the team and the driver do not find a solution for their dispute soon. We hope that everyone gets what they want at the end, with Alpine filling up their empty spot and Piastri making his F1 debut in the team of his liking.
