Oscar Piastri accused his now former Alpine team of "upsetting" and "bizarre" actions as he broke his silence in the wake of confirmation of his McLaren move.
The Contracts Recognition Board (CRB) ruled on Friday that McLaren's deal with the Aussie was "the only contract to be recognised". It left the Woking outfit free to announce that the F2 champion would be racing for them in 2023.
But that was the final act of a lengthy saga which saw Piastri sign for McLaren behind closed doors on July 4, Fernando Alonso declare he would be leaving Alpine a month later and be left red faced when they tried to promote their reserve in his place.
