Oscar Piastri — the 21-year-old Australian motor racing talent tipped for a bright future in the sport — could be thrust into the Formula One ranks in 2023.
2021 FIA Formula 2 champion*Alonso has signed a multi-year deal with British-based F1 team Aston Martin and Piastri is considered the two-time world champion's obvious successor at Alpine for the 2023 season.
But the 41-year-old Alonso's switch from the Renault-owned Alpine — as a replacement for retiring four-times world champion Sebastian Vettel at Aston Martin — makes Piastri a warm favourite to join Daniel Ricciardo in bolstering Australia's presence in the F1 ranks. Oscar Piastri is a reserve driver for the Alpine F1 team, but he could grab a prized seat for the 2023 season.The 21-year-old from Melbourne claimed the Formula Three championship in 2020 to announce his arrival on the world stage.
