According to various media reports, McLaren would have interacted with Daniel Ricciardo already Oscar Piastri will sit next season.
‘Racing News 365’ and ‘Autosport’ refer to this situation, where It would have been McLaren’s full decision to have Piastri to be one of its starting drivers next year. It is against the interest of a Ricciardo to be left without a place in the team.
This situation would explain Piastri’s refusal to sit in 2023 at Alpine. However, McLaren has not officially announced anything about it. If the information is confirmed, McLaren had to terminate Ricciardo’s contract.
After all, according to the aforementioned media, Piastri would have signed the contract in Hungary to join McLaren for the future. As such, Piastri may have resented being announced as an Alpine driver for next season. “It is a lie that I signed a contract with Alpine for 2023. I will not drive for them”the Australian declared a few days ago.
