Oscar Piastri will race for McLaren in 2023 after the Contracts Recognition Board ruled against Alpine's claim that they had a valid contract for the Australian.
Alpine had announced Piastri as their replacement for Fernando Alonso, but the F2 champion was quick to claim he had not signed a contract with the team. Instead, he had made plans to defect to midfield rivals McLaren.
And that switch has now been confirmed, after the CRB's ruling that the Woking team's contract takes precedence. And within minutes of the ruling, McLaren announced they had signed Piastri on a multi-year deal.
