McLaren won a dispute with Alpine, ruled by the FIA’s Contract Recognition Board, meaning that they can count on Piastri for the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2023 season as a replacement for Daniel Ricciardo.

Pia🍰stri remains contracted as a test and reserve driver for Alpine throughout 2022 but they will consider letting him go early.

“My personal opinion? You’ve got to let drivers𓂃 move on, and drive their rac♎e cars,” Brown told Sky. “Not just drivers, but employees.

“𒊎People must want to be with t♍heir team, and vice versa, to have a productive environment.

“So, if it was me? And I am biased, but I’d say: ‘Go and have some fun w💯ith yourജ new team’.

“But it’s ultimately their decision.”

McLaren chose to pay off the final y♏ear of Ricciardo’s contract to bring i🌠n newcomer Piastri, and pair him with Lando Norris.

Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer has hinted they could consider letting Piastri leave before the end of his contract: “He's with us this week🎀end, doing simulator work and he'll continue this weekend.

"T🃏here's only a couple of days left, today and tomorrow. And then on Monday we will get together with him and decide how we go forward.”

Brown said about Piastri. “We think he is really fast. A great young tale🥂nt.

“Similar to Lando to date - winning everything along the way. We have a very exciting 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:driver line-up fo🌸r the future. I can’t wait to see him in our car.

“That’s ultimately up to [McLaren team 🥂principal Andreas Seidl] to work through our plans♎ for this year.

“[Piastri] is under contract to Alpine for 2022. Thaꦿt’s something they need to discuss.

“We haven’t finalised any plans on our end.”
