OK, looks like Piastri is officially announced to Alpine. This season isn't silly enough.
Another situation like Alex Palou’s with CGR? Still 2.5 hours for McLaren to do an announcement, lol
Yeah, they've signed Alonso for next year.
Lol… It was just striking that the announcement came while Piastri is probably sleeping, with no quote from him, with Otmar trying to guilt trip him into joining the team… And it’s not that dissimilar to the situation with Alex Palou, where CGR announce him as a driver, only for McLaren to welcome him a few hours later… Not happening, but it would have been funny
Personally, I am not on the Piastri hype train… Yes, he won in F3 (although he didn’t dominate, not a single pole and the championship decided in the last race) and his competition in F2 wasn’t necessarily the strongest line up and he was arguably in the best team… So, not rooting for or against him joining McLaren… Just gaining a few pounds eating pop corn while enjoying the silly season
