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.

Piastri remains contracted as a test and reserve driver for Alpine throughout 2022 but they will consider letti🍸ng him go early.

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

“People must want to 🗹be with their 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 with you🅺r new team’.

“But it’s ultimately their decision.”

McLaren chose to pay off the final year of Ricciardo’s contract to bring in 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 weekend, doing simulator work and he'll continue this weekend.

"There's only a couple of day♔s 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 talent.

“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 for the future. I can’t wait tꦿo see him in our car🌱.

“That’s ultimately up to [McLaren team principal Andreas Seidl] to work through our p🌳lans foಌr this year.

“[Piastri] is under contract 🔯t🌊o Alpine for 2022. That’s something they need to discuss.

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