Fernando Alonso denied rumors that the championship reshuffle was directed by Flavio Briatore – former manager of Alonso and Mark Webber – manager of Oscar Piastri.
Fernando Alonso: “I read about this “conspiracy theory” a few days after we announced the contract. Frankly, it was sad. There is no conspiracy here, I made this decision myself and I will explain why.
I’ve been in talks with Alpine about a contract extension for a few months now, but haven’t received any formal offers. Aston Martin representatives contacted me when Sebastian announced his resignation. For my part, all decisions were simple and transparent. And what happened next, and this whole story with Oscar, is absolutely none of my business.
I’m out of this. Oscar is an incredibly talented racer. I have been working with him for two years now and wish him all the best, as well as the Alpine team. They will remain in my heart forever. Thanks to Alpine, I returned to Formula.
When we talk about negotiations, I’m all doing my own business. Flavio came to some races, but on his own business – on deals with Domenicali, with Formula 1, with the Paddock Club. These things have nothing to do with me.”
