F1’s Contract Recognition Board ruled earlier this month that McLaren had won their battle against Alpine for the 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:services of Piastri, who will replace Daniel Ricciardo at McLare🃏n n🌠ext season. 

Ahead of the CRB hearing, Szafnauer168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: expressed confidence in Alpine’s claim they had an agreement in place with Piastri to be promoted from the role of reserve and make his F1 debut with the French manufacturer in 2023. 

The Alpine chief accused Piastri of a168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: lack of “integrity” over the young Australian’s refusꦫal to drive for the team next year. 

In contrast, McLaren’s hierarchy refrained from commenting until a verdict was reached. 🍒;

“It was very noisy, but we really haven’t commented on anything. I think it was bettꦉer just to let things play out and give 🦹a little bit of colour afterwards,” Brown told NBC Sports. 

“If you look at all of the comments by Otmar he was giving a little play-by-play of the CRB and how confident they were, and now I think he looks a littl🅺e silly.

“That’s why it’s best to keep your mouth shut, and we can talk about 𝓀it after the fact🍷 when there’s something concrete to say.”

Brown said McLaren were confident the CRB would rule in their favou🌱r and so did not feel the need to comment publicly on the matter. 

"Before the CRB ruling, they didn't know what they didn't know and we kept our moutജhs shut deliberately,” he expl🎀ained. 

"Now that ruling has come𓂃 out and some of the detail, 𓆉I think it's clear what happened there.

"So we recognised there was a lot of noise, but we knew the truth 🌠would come out eventually and we could ride it out, as opposed to giving a running commentary.

"At the time we were not obliviou𝓡s to the noise and some of the direct message notes I got from fans. But now we're very comfortable that the CRB ruling has come out, and that's very clear there."
