In a communication issued by the FIA on Friday, it was confirmed the CRB had unanimously decided that Piastri’s agreement with McLaren was his only valid deal for next year after Alpine had intended to field its current reserve driver in a race seat next year.
McLaren followed this news by announcing 2021 Formula 2 champion Piastri had joined the team on a multi-year deal from 2023, completing its line-up alongside Lando Norris.
