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 toꦇld Sky. “I wanted to leave my team for another team. I have made mistakes in my career. I was a few years into my F1 career when I made this miꦡstake.

“The CRB decided against me moving so I stayed🧜 with B﷽AR.

“For Oscar it is different.

“H𓆏e 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 after 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 joওb. It is unbelievable for such a high-profile team to manage it so badl🌼y.

“They invested millions into Piastri’s career but didn’t have💖 him locked into a contract, so he could go away and take an offer f𝄹rom McLaren.

“That’s really, really tough.

“Piastri’s manager Mark Webber? Great job. They got ꦯhim a fantastic race seat at McLaren. That’s huge.

“Never🅰theless it will be tough for Oscar🌞 to do well there because Lando is world-class. He is world championship material.

“It won’t be easy for Oscar to come in and to straight away do better th🔯an Daniel Ricciardo.”
