Damon Hill thinks Oscar Piastri might have made a mistake by leaving Alpine for a race seat with their rivals McLaren.
The Aussie was at the centre of the main story of Formula 1 'silly season' last year. As an Alpine junior he was immediately given a race seat when Fernando Alonso announced he would be leaving for Aston Martin, but it wasn't long before the Formula 2 champion caused a stir on social media.
Just a few minutes later he posted that he would not be racing for Alpine. As it turned out, he had already penned a deal with McLaren in secret to join them this year and, after a legal battle, it was confirmed that he would be replacing Daniel Ricciardo.
