It is believed that McLaren has notified Daniel Ricciardo it intends to replace the Australian with Oscar Piastri, according to a report from Autosport.
At the beginning of the month, Aston Martin confirmed Fernando Alonso would race for them in 2023, filling the vacancy left by Sebastian Vettel who is retiring from F1 at the end of the campaign. This left an open seat at Alpine, and a day later, the team said Piastri would be a part of the ’23 F1 driver lineup alongside Esteban Ocon.
However, the 21-year-old said on Twitter hours later, “I understand that, without my agreement, Alpine F1 have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am driving for them next year.
