McLaren won a dispute with Alpine, ruled by the FIA’s Contract Recognition Board, meaning that they can count on Piastri for the 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:F1 2023 season as a replacement for Daniel Ricciardo.

Piastri remains contracte⭕d as a test and reserve driver for Alpine throughout 202♐2 but they will consider letting him go early.

“My personal opinion? You’ve go💞t to let drivers move on, and drive their race cars,” Brown told Sky. “Not just drivers, but employees.

“People must want to be with their team, and vice v⛦ersa, to have a productiꦯve environment.

“So, if it was me? And I am biased, but I’d say: ‘Go 𝕴and have some fun with your newಞ team’.

“But it’s ultimately their decision.”

McLaren chose to pay off the final year of Ricciardo’s contract to bring in newcomer Piastri, and pair him with Land🥂o Norris.

Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer has hinted they could consider letting Piastri leave before the end of his contract: “He's w𝕴ith us this weeken🌄d, doing simulator work and he'll continue this weekend.

"Th൲ere's only a couple of days left, today and tomorrow. And then on Monday we will get together with him and decide how we go forward.”

Brown sa𝓀id about Piastri. “We think he is really fast. A great young talent.

“Similar to Lando to date - winning everything along the way. We have a very exciting 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:driver line-up for the future. I can’t wait to see him ⛦in our car.

“That’s ultimately up to [McLaren team principal Andreas Sei✃dl] to work through our plans for this year.

“[Piastri] is under contract to Alpine for 2022. That’s something they need to♏ discuss.

“We haven’t finalised any plans on our end.”
