Formula One / Re: 2023 Driver Speculation
Last post by Chrill - August 26, 2022, 06:44:19 AMNorris accidentally confirmed Piastri too, so yeah they are very confident.
Dutch TV asked him: "Are you excited to be partnered with Piastri for 2023?"
Norris: "Is it confirmed now?"
Dutch: "No not yet"
Norris: "...yeah because it's not true"
Something like that.

Last post by Penfold - August 24, 2022, 01:52:24 AMWould be novel to have an actual new team in F1 but seems we're forever stuck with just 20 cars on the grid

Last post by Chrill - August 15, 2022, 07:33:33 AMQuote from: Penfold on August 15, 2022, 03:03:35 AMI can see Red Bull letting Gasly go, but not Tsunoda. He'll drive the Red Bull in 2024 when Perez is dropped. Only question is, does Red Bull have anyone to put into AlphaTauri right now? Lawson and Vips are not up for it.
Be an interesting working environment with Pastry given his rather public rejection of the team. Gasly sounds like he's planning on seeing out his contract to the end of '23 but you never know in F1, although does Alpine want to be all-French from a marketing perspective? Perhaps it isn't a factor or perhaps Zhou or Tsunoda (out of contract end of this year) would be a more useful fit.

Last post by Chrill - August 11, 2022, 02:53:58 PMAlpine claim they have 14 drivers in consideration for the second seat. Let's see if we can get some of them right?
1. Daniel Ricciardo
2. Oscar Piastri
3. Zhou Guanyu
4. Pierre Gasly
5. Nyck de Vries
6. Nico Hulkenberg
7. Stoffel Vandoorne
8. Daniil Kvyat
9. Colton Herta
10. Marcus Ericsson
11. Romain Grosjean
12. Theo Pourchaire
13. Felipe Drugovich
14. Jack Doohan
I mean, at least 5-6 of these are on their "shortlist" right? Maybe not the 3 Indycar boys.

Ricciardo out, Piastri in. This is not yet official confirmation, but it sure sounds like it's about to be.
Apparently, Alpine believes it triggered a valid option but in time, but there are question marks about whether the 2023 deal is even lodged with the Contract Recognition Board. If it isn't, Alpine basically used a non-existent clause to trigger a non-existent option for 2023, and McLaren picked Piastri up as a fair and free agent.
Ricciardo has a 2023 contract in place, and the discussion now is about buying him out.

"I understand that, with my agreement, Williams Racing have put out a press release this afternoon that I am driving for them next year. This is right and I have signed a contract with Williams for 2023. I will be driving for Williams next year."
