Although we are only at the beginning of the 2022 season, we are already thinking about organizing the next one. Let's talk about Alpine. The French team is very satisfied with the driver pair it currently has available. But, in the background, there is always the opportunity linked to their third driver: Oscar Piastri who dreams of a seat for the F1 season.
Speak Rossi
At Alpine they want to keep close to the current Formula 2 champion, but, at the same time, they want to try not to lose him and not leave him in the pits for too long. Precisely for this reason, Alpine evaluates the opportunity of being able to loan the Australian rider, obviously without losing his time card, as confirmed by the CEO of the team Laurent Rossi: “We will grow Oscar through our program. It's not a question of if, but when he arrives in Formula 1. The only thing that matters to me is to get him there when he is absolutely ready. If it's a solution that will allow us to have him back then I might think about it. You understand well that I want to make Oscar grow, I don't want to leave him sitting on the bench waiting forever ”.
“His time will come”
Alpine knows the great skills of the pilot, however it is always better not to accelerate too much with the times: “He needs to be ready for when his time comes Rossi said. and that moment will come because he is very talented and is worthy of one of the 20 places available. I think he has the potential to be a future world champion. I'm sure".
