Oscar Piastri warned by Jenson Button over F1 Alpine snub: “Don’t make enemies this early”

Piastri will replace Daniel Ricciardo representing McLaren in the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:2023 F1 driver line-up, after the the FIA’s Contract Recognition Board allowed him to exit a deal he previously had with Alpine.
“I’ve been through this situation before,” former world champion Jenson Button told Sky. “I wanted to leave my team for another team. I have made mistakes in my career. I was 𒈔a few years into ಞmy F1 career when I made this mistake.
“The CRB decided against me moving so I staye🦋d with BAR.
“For Oscar it is different.
“He hasn’t even raced in an F1 car. Alpine has funded 🐽his development and now he’s like: ‘You know what? I’ll go to them because they are better for my career!’
“He has got to look aꦛfter No 1. But you can’t make enemies this early in your career.”

Another ex-F1 champion, Nico Rosberg, added on Sky: “Alpine really did such a bad jꦑob🎃. It is unbelievable for such a high-profile team to manage it so badly.
“They invested millions into Piastri’s career but didn’ඣt have him locked into a contract, so he could go away and take an offer from McLaren.
“That’s really, really tough.
“Piastri’s manager Mark Webber? Great job. They got him a fantastic race seat at McLaren. That’s huജge.
“Nevertheless it will be tough for Oscar to do well there because Lando is world-claꦅss. He is world championship material.
“💝It won’t be easy for Oscar to come in and to straight away do better 🌄than Daniel Ricciardo.”
