Losing your lead driver (and main sponsorship asset) and young talent over 48 hours... Remarkable self-f.ckery.
Well, what's next? Danny Ric to Alpine?

Education is that which allows a nation free, independent, reputable life, and function as a high society; or it condemns it to captivity and poverty.

Luckily they have this french driver who was the next big thing 7 years ago tied down until 2024... Might be they committed to the wrong guy, while failing to show commitment to the other two.
If it turns out that Piastri doesn't sign for Alpine next year, and if I'm Alpine, I'm testing Alfa Romeo for Theo Pourchaire. Frenchman and perhaps on a similar level to that of Piastri. Ideal for them. It might force Alfa's hand of getting him into the car next year, regardless of what happens in F2.
If you can't get him. You could take on Ricciardo and hope he discovers his form and perhaps look at Gasly for the future (Who isn't the best of friends of Ocon (And I would argue somewhat overrated)) or perhaps Victor Martins, who is a frenchman himself as well as a Alpine Academy driver and would thus create a whole french team. With how things have worked out with Alonso and Piastri recently, perhaps they might look at creating a french national "team", with both driver being french and thus creating that "Being-proud-of-racing-for-a-team-of-the-same-nationality-mentality".
