Pretty fucking rich. Piastri didn't make Alpine not sign. And if they actually had their shit together they could have chosen not to give him the benefits without an unsigned contact, but instead they acted like it was signed and expected to still get the benefits?
How the fuck do they think they could have won the case? Like, if I offered a contact to Alpine that I would shit in front of their office and they would let me drive a season in F1, and then they didn't sign, could I bring them to court after I shat on the sidewalk and demand they let me drive? Bonkers.
It sounds more like he's bitter that they didn't get Oscar, and the fallout from that was almost certainly factored into his job loss.
FWIW I love Carlos and hope he brings great things to Williams.
Buuuuuutttt.....
There are some stacked lineups in F1 next year. McLaren will see the return of their rapid pair, Ferrari will have two of this generation's stars, Mercedes have one proven talent and one suspected prodigy, Williams will have a solid pairing, hell Aston Martin might even be competitive with Fernando and the Window Licker in a rocketship.
