Fernando Alonso and Oscar Piastri they had a more than productive year 2022 in Alpine. The Australian, one of the young promises of the F1, and the Spanish, two-time world champion, practically announced their farewells at the same time (to McLaren and Aston-Martin) from a team that thought it had both for this year and that he finally ran out of none.
For the oceanic man, represented by Mark Webber, a great friend of Alonso, agreeing with who he was one of his childhood idols it was more than an honor.
“working with Alonso for a good part of last year opened my eyes”says Piastri in words published by ‘GPBlog’ and collected in ‘SoyMotor’.
And he continues: “He is a pilot that I have seen running since he was little, and I saw his success in lower categories”.
“The other is Hamilton, and it’s going to be very special to run against these idols of my childhood”, Piastri account.
The Australian also talks about his Alpine output: “The past is past. There may be a lot of expectations about me, but I’m focused on McLaren”.
“Because of how my future was discussed in 2022 and my time in the lower categories, a lot may be expected, but Getting out of Alpine doesn’t add any more pressure to my debut.”sentence.
