How Alpine let Piastri slip into the hands of McLaren

How Alpine let Piastri slip into the hands of McLaren

We explain how Alpine got it so wrong with its Oscar Piastri deal in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.

Scott Mitchell-Malm joins Edd Straw to discuss the Contract Recognition Board ruling that Piastri had a valid contract to race for McLaren in 2023 and '24 and not Alpine, which was the big talking point in the Dutch Grand Prix paddock on the first day of practice at Zandvoort.

The timeline of the deals, and how that intertwines with McLaren driver Daniel Ricciardo being told his services were no longer required, is laid out - particularly with regards to the revelation that Piastri's contract was signed as long ago as July 4.

We also discuss Alpine's likely choice as team-mate to Esteban Ocon having missed out on both Fernando Alonso and Piastri, and what it means for the rest of the F1 driver market.
