Piastri's career is not a priority for Alonso either:Unfortunately, Formula 1 is still very predictable. I don't know any other sport like that. But it's still too boring, even if this is a feature of Formula 1. There will always be teams that are faster than others. We are not fighting for victories, and I don't think the situation will improve quickly.
With no announcement on a Piastri-Williams deal, you have to imagine Alpine are considering placing Piastri directly into the Alpine team. That would save money and develop their future driver, no? Otherwise they would have to release Piastri from his Alpine contract if they cannot find an F1 drive anywhere for him, which they may still choose to do, that's up to them if they consider Piastri subpar and not up to being an Alpine Grand Prix driver at any stage.I look at the situation differently. If you are slow, then you are standing in the way of rising talents and should step aside. But I think it is drivers other than me who are blocking this fresh blood.
