2022 Formula 1 Season Paddock

Sounds like Alpine was blowing a lot of smoke.

 

Gasly and Ocon reportedly hate each other from karting days

 

Normal

 

???

Hmmmm. I never thought this. Interesting.

 

I'd love for Ocon and Gasly to be on Alpine. That way I can 100% not route for Alpine whatsoever....

 

Suits me, Alpine can implode and McLaren kick their butts!

 

Apparently the contract between McLaren and Piastro was signed back on July 4th!

 

Haha. I don’t think I can be a fan of a kid that doesn’t even mention he has a new employer to his current boss.

 

not sure when anybody would not like Pierre Gasly , he's awesome

 

well he has a point , I love Sky F1's broadcast , but you have to admit they are Hamilton homers or at least David Croft is

 

And then there's the summer break when it's nothing but drama. Season 5 practically wrote itself. lol.

Some people just want to watch the world burn.

 

I do not think that Otmar was being kept informed of the shenanigans. He does not deal with the contract side, as far as I know, and I would guess that they were lying their asses off. Serious communication foul-up in the team. My opinion anyway.

 

I wonder when McLaren told Danny that he no longer had a seat, I doubt it was July 4th…

 

He did tell them.
Piastri opens up on "upsetting" and "bizarre" Alpine F1 behaviour (motorsport.com)

 

The plot continues to thicken.

 

There's certainly a lot of he said she said, but the CRB ruling sure puts a lot of doubt in Alpine's corner. When Piastri initally put out his Twitter statement I think everyone thought it wasn't a good look. However I believe that look has shifted heavily towards Alpine. You don't lose two drivers when your program is going well.

 

Can we send Guido to take care of our Verstappen problem?

 

Ferrari.

Great work
