Now that (most of) the facts are in place, we can have a look back at the Oscar Piastri saga that made news headlines around the world. BTW apologies for the delay in vid production - a little bit of jet lag may have had a part to play in that ;)

I knew Alpine were in the wrong the moment Szafnauer started yapping to any and all media about 'loyalty', 'integrity', 'what we are owed', etc. It was clearly a pathetic attempt to gain allies from the outside. The fact that they continued to publicly villify a young driver who was in the right all along, speaks volumes about them as an organization.

"In the right", if Alpine effectively got that Williams seat for 2023 is pretty questionable. Other comments too are stating how much of a shame it is that Piastri didn't get a drive this year, but Alpine doesn't have as much traction as Mercedes or Ferrari, considering it doesn't have any client team anymore. Piastri did snub a 2023 Williams drive that Alpine had gotten him after all, which in this saturated driver market is already something good. I want to see the man drive as much as anyone, yet while Alpine certainly dropped the ball with its drivers there, they didn't let him down as much as he wants everyone to believe.

I have absolutely 0 hard feelings towards Piastri. His team gave Alpine half a year to come up with something that resembles a contract, and they left him hanging for so long that he was in danger of losing his superlicense. It would have been irresponsible of him not to look for other options. To say it with Steiner: Alpine made themselves look like absolute wankers. Not admitting to their mistake and trying to throw Piastri under the bus.

You are right. Success fixes everything in sports. Question is...with a seemingly good driver failing in that seat before him, the assumption was that the car didn't fit Riccardo's driving style and they wouldn't alter the setup to fit him, so will the car be a perfect fit for Piastri? If it isn't, will the team make changes to accommodate him?

Alpine didn’t fully commit to Piastri or Alonso, so they lost both to teams that would. This is only Alpine’s fault. Piastri chose a McLaren seat over a Williams seat, shouldn’t be vilified for any of this. Bizarre that alpine gave Ocon a mega contract and let the others slide

@gogox98 Жыл бұрын

Agreed. Nothing against good ol' Ocon, but he has been getting destroyed by Alonso. Even though Alonso had most of the misfortunes (a few DNFs not due to his fault and at least 2 races with engine problems, which lead to power loss, not to mention the hydraulics dying during the Austalian Q3), the points gap between them is extremely small. It is frankly ridiculous that they wouldn't commit to Alonso for at least another 2 years. Why they wouldn't commit to Piastri is also beyond me, considering how much money they pyt in him. Piastri + Alonso would have made way more sense as a team than Ocon + anyone. Idk why Alpine assume they can have, statistically, a top talent and just let him sit on the sidelines for multiple years.

@ragalyiakos Жыл бұрын

I genuinely don't understand their thought process. They could have kept a two time world champion and arguable top 5 driver of all time, or a very exciting and promising young talent, OR both, and instead they ended up with... Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly. Huh. No shade to either of them, I personally really like Gasly and think he's better than people give him credit for, but he's no FERNANDO ALONSO, and neither is Ocon (kinda proven by the fact that Alonso routinely outperformed him). They wouldn't commit to two great drivers, so now they've ended up with probably the most mid driver lineup for 2023 (aside from maybe Williams). It genuinely boggles the mind how they managed to fuck this up this badly.

I feel bad for people in the Alpine Academy. If any of the F1 teams wants someone to join their driver development program it would be very hard for them to say no. Thus, any driver that Alpine approaches is kind of stuck between a rock and a hard place. Saying yes and getting the support provided by the team makes it easier to rise up through the junior series, but saying yes also means you probably won't get an F1 ride with Alpine. As we've seen with Piastri that uncertainty about when or even if Alpine Academy drivers will be promoted can leave the driver wondering about their career path going forward.

It's been made fairly obvious that Alpine needs to look within themselves at how poorly managed their drivers situation is. I get how they had "hoped" Piastri was dreaming of that seat but he was looking at his overall career instead. What's unfortunate is all the "hot takes" with only rumors circulating from people on social media. It painted a poor picture of Piastri and made Alpine look like a victim. When the actual details came out it was a very different story. More proof to wait until you have the details before forming misinformed opinions.

Honestly, the more information that becomes known, the less inappropriate Piastri's response to all of this seems. Szafnauer can talk all he wants about loyalty but every person who follows F1 even a little bit knows damn well that teams aren't that loyal to their drivers... and Szafnauer and the other teams know it, too. Drivers without a contract don't owe teams anything, especially when the team are the ones that put themselves in that situation in the first place. I sympathize with Piastri, being jerked around by Alpine who want to keep him on the hook while they take their time deciding what they want to do with their other drivers. The guy wanted to take the next step and found a team willing to give him the chance. Then Alpine turns around and announces him as a driver for next season when *they don't even have a contract signed.* AND without even discussing it with him first! What else is Piastri to do but immediately correct the misinformation put out by Alpine? The paddock may talk, but with how the situation unfolded I think most people rightfully understand that Alpine completely botched the whole situation, and I really doubt any team is going to look negatively upon Piastri in the future because of this... especially if he proves himself a worthy driver.

@@MajesticDemonLord I'm a Yank, and I got into the V8s over the pandemic. I thought the race this past weekend was great, and the final podium ceremony was awesome. Fitting that the Gizz won with another phenomenal late race pass, and you could tell how much it meant to him. I remember him saying that watching Murph race there when he was a kid is what made him want to race V8s.

@@salkdhfpoahergpoahre1534 Watching Murph when he was in the championship fight in 2002/2003 absolutely sending it round Puke was amazing. Glad you enjoy the V8s, they give a similar vibe to the BTCC, but there's something about the bigger gruntier engines that adds to it.

@@MajesticDemonLord Yea just seems to be one of the last touring car series that's managed to hold onto it's identity. Racing's great, the cars are sweet, and seems like there's always a chance for a surprise like Best and Randle putting it on the front row at the Bend. I've penciled a trip to Bathurst on my calendar for next year, really hoping it all comes together.

Piastri is talented; if he performs, other team will come calling, Alpine paid his junior career and showed what he can do; Alpine dropped the ball in terms of contract and rightfully the CRB ruled in Piastri favour

Honestly, hope this raises enough eyebrows so that drivers that think of driving for them will think twice before signing that contract. This was unacceptable from them, trying to juggle both talents like that and ending up with none is a fitting end to the story.

If you take a closer look at the article about Piastri being offered to Mclaren in case they need a driver, you'll see that it was released in March before the season even started. He wasn't offered when Lando got ill, he was offered when Daniel got Covid during the pre season testing. I think the offer would have still stood in case Lando was unable to race

My anger about the situation is with McLaren. They did this contract with Piastri a week before Riccardo put out his statement about being committed to them until the end of 2023. They humiliated him and made him look like an idiot. Yes he hasn't performed well and hasn't lived up to expectations. But no one deserves to be treated that way.

Logically, the sensible replacement for Norris at Monaco would be Hakkinen. Old Mate's been on sabbatical forever, surely he can come out, and punt the McLaren around Monaco for a few laps until it understeers into a wall or something. Could be back in the sauna by tea time.
