Alpine boss takes a swipe at young Australian’s ‘integrity’ as F1 saga turns ugly | ChrisRoots1
Alpine boss Otmar Szafnauer has criticised the integrity of Formula 1 rookie Oscar Piastri with the contract wrangle over the young Australian to go before F1’s contract recognition board on Monday.
“He signed a piece of paper as well back in November, and we’ve done everything on our end of the bargain to prepare him for Formula 1, and his end of the bargain was to either drive for us or take a seat where we would place him for the next three years.“I just wish Oscar would have remembered what he signed in November and what he signed up to.
British team McLaren have remained quiet so far on the tantalising prospect of Piastri replacing Ricciardo, but an announcement is expected soon. Neither would McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl give anything away when asked about the possibility of a rookie like Piastri, who’s yet to race in F1 despite a glittering junior career, replacing an eight-time race winner like Ricciardo.

His exit now leaves him now looking for a seat on the grid for 2023. Ricciardo’s tensions with McLaren have been known for weeks since Formula 1 entered its summer break earlier this month. After driver Fernando Alonso left Alpine for Aston Martin, the car company tried to promote Australian Formula 2 driver Oscar Piastri as their driver – a move the young gun denied. Speculation then swirled Piastri would instead replace the underperforming Ricciardo at McLaren for 2023. Constructors Alpine, Haas, Alphatauri, Alfa Romeo, and Williams have yet to sign any drivers.
