Now waiting for Piastri's move to Alpine...

Kid deserves It, also makes the situation easier for some other teams as they won't have to think about that loan anymore nalakSip

Won F3 Championship in rookie year, won F2 in his first year... Should be good in F1.

nocturne crescent
#

Maybe if Sargeant continues good form we'd see an American driver in F1, since Piastri would be anyone's main rival for this seat before Alonso quitting Alpine.

Alonso really said 🤐👋⁠

Alpine only found out about his move to Aston Martin from yesterday's press release 🤯⁠

➡️ The team also says contract terms won't allow Oscar Piastri to join McLaren ❌⁠

Equivalent of lighting a fuse leading to 10000 tons of dynamite and walking away.

#

No fucks given from alonsos side. Really makes you wonder what is going on at alpine behind closed doors 🤔

Well

#

Silly Season has truly begun 🗿

Watafak, this is giving Palou and Ganassi vibes.

So this means
Alpine and Piastri - No
Mclaren & Williams - Possible

This is a chain of messages 🤣

Danny boi or goat at risk

nocturne crescent

And Alpine at risk of not having any top tier talent kek.

Who would have guessed

Alpine really looking like clowns rn

Ferrari paying alpine to look like bigger clowns to hide their fuck up?

lmao nice one G

I seriously want to know how you can confirm a driver will be driving for you before you actually have confirmation a driver will be driving for you

#

Now what the hell is going on? I really just woke up and got confused.

wind jewel
#

Alpine says piastri driving for them piastri says he is not driving for alpine

versed sentinel
#

Ah.

#

Driver market went from sad to ultra silly. 🗿

wind jewel
#

Basically alpine rn 🤡

versed sentinel
#

L plan moment.

nocturne crescent
#

In Indy a similar situation will even be taken to court over the current champ.

Alpine Became Ferrari 🗿

versed sentinel
#

Nah, at least Ferrari's mess happened on track.

i dont know the actual contracts but my understanding was that his contract with alpine ran out last month

#

so now, right at the start of august, he was free to sign whatever

wind jewel
#

Ahh interesting

#

Very inconvenient timing

lavish pulsar
#

oh my

wind jewel
#

For alpine anyway

marble flax
#

im not sure if alpine gave him a new contract and he just hadn't signed yet, or that alpine just kinda forgot or something, which seems kinda unlikely

wind jewel
#

Nando played right into piastris hand by signing when he did possibly

#

I would have thought alpine would been keen on extending the contract, if they somehow didnt that would be a pretty big fuck up

neon bay
#

Watch as Piastri’s talks about McLaren comes true 💀

wind jewel
#

At this point daniel going back to renault/alpine and piastri going to alpine would not surprise me

#

Logan goes to Williams

versed sentinel
#

The amount of drama F1 has produced in these last few days is so good, it deserves an Oscar.

And all that was started from this.

Oui

lavish pulsar

#

he fits better in Alpine imo next to Ocon

Even the official F1 Twitter account got baited

neon bay
#

Yea 💀

versed sentinel
#

This'll either be:
A) Albon contract extension
B) Latifi contract extension
C) Replace Latifi with Sargeant or Piastri

D) Etc. (New sponsorship)

Happy for Alex, his comeback was pretty good and Williams got a perfect driver to gage their possible improvement over time.

If they signed Oscar before Alpine woke up to not having Nando anymore...guess their only option at a "star" driver really is only getting Dan back and hoping he can cope with their car better than with orange one.

It is not just Toto or Mercedes partners though, there are very little supporters for Andretti in existing teams.

In april?? Wut

Probably because of that plan to make flying less frequent. Put all races in same part of the world next to each other during the season or whatever

Was usually march no? Early april aint too far out

Pre-2020 yeah. Was usually as a season opener also.

2026 pu regs and ICE is still 1.6L V6 😔

versed sentinel
lavish pulsar
#

carbon neutral won't be enough to be bringing those back anytime soon

#

size, reliability, power and efficiency are still things to consider while on the other hand marketing of their technologies is another thing that plays into the favour of these PU

#

but i hoped for a v8 atleast

wind jewel

Mguk gone hopefully will make em sound good

wind jewel

Yes sure

#

Idk difference tbh.

versed sentinel
#

H generates heat, too complex to develop.

wind jewel
#

It doesnt generate heat. It harvests heat from exhaust

I know how they work but i always get them confused
