Alonso in the Aston Team?

[Jasandjules]

Just saw on Sky Sports F1 that Fernando has a multi year deal with Aston!!

That means Piastri will move up ?

Cannot see this ending well

I don't think anyone can, well, at least outside of Alonso and Aston....

I wonder however whether he can now mould the development of the 2023 car more in his favour and steer the team a little? Or has that ship sailed.

Maybe expect an Aussie at Alpine, and a free mcclaren seat..?

I suspect it has to be Piastri to form up new blood in the team for the long term...

As expected, Piastri has been announced..

Piastri going to McLaren confirmed then?

I don't understand why Alpine would do that if they didn't have ink on paper.

Yup must be. No way would he turn down Alpine unless he had a faster team signed...

But WTAF were Alpine doing?!?! That was some Press Release...
