Piastri turned down Alpine for 2023 seat, saying that he's already signed with McLaren.
Alpine boss Otmar Szafnauer outlined that “I've seen both sides of the argument and we're confident that Oscar signed with us back in November. And there are certain things that need to be in the contract and I'm confident they're in there.
"I rarely like to talk about details of driver contracts but two things I can say: one, there was no ‘by the 31st of July you have to do some things or therefore you can get out’. It's not in the contract that he signed and the term of the contract is through 2024 with an option at the end of ‘23. So I'll just say those things, but there's a lot more in it but like I said, I don't really like to talk about specifics.
On who will be teaming with Esteban Ocon next season, Szafnauer simply commented: “Once we have all the information in front of us, we'll start looking at who will fill the open seat.” Ricciardo has been touted as the front-runner but commented in Belgium that he wants to assess his future after the current triple-header of events in order to avoid making emotional decisions. It is understood bythat Alpine has asked about Pierre Gasly, who is already contracted to AlphaTauri for 2023.
On-track, Alpine had a strong weekend at Spa, with Fernando Alonso finishing fifth, and Ocon charging from the back to seventh, which included two well-judged double overtaking moves. That gives Alpine a 20-point buffer over McLaren in the race for fourth in the standings. At Spa, McLaren's Lando Norris was only 12th and Ricciardo a dismal 15th, stymied by the MCL36’s draggy nature.
