Not much is certain at Alpine these days, with veteran driver Fernando Alonso on his way out and Oscar Piastri not all that keen about taking his place.
The Enstone team felt promoting their reserve driver was a formality after learning of the Spaniard's impending departure to Aston Martin. But the young Aussie is instead eyeing a move to McLaren, and the situation is likely to end with a court case as both teams feel they have valid deals with the F2 champion.
Amid the madness, the one man they can rely on is Esteban Ocon. The Frenchman loves driving for a team from his homeland and is secured until the end of the 2024 season – so at least Alpine know who one of their drivers will be next year.
