It's the France we love, that... An hour after the announcement of the tricolor Alpine team of the appointment of Oscar Piastri in place of Fernando Alonso next season at the wheel of his F1, the young Australian driver posted a tweet denying it.
I understand that, without my agreement, Alpine F1 have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am driving for them next year.
This is wrong and I have not signed a contract with Alpine for 2023. I will not be driving for Alpine next year.

Good luck to the Alpine teams for putting out the fire and getting out of this story with their heads held high.
