McLaren chief Zak Brown has hit back at Alpine boss Otmar Szafnauer as the explosive saga surrounding driver Oscar Piastri continues.
Szafnauer accused Piastri of lacking integrity after the Australian sensationally opposed the team announcement that he would be driving for them in 2023 in place of the departing Fernando Alonso. The Spaniard is moving to Aston Martin to replace the retiring Sebastian Vettel.
The Australian has long been touted as a future star of the sport, having already won world titles in Formula 2 and Formula 3. And there was little surprise when he was seemingly confirmed as Alonso's successor.
