Juan Manuel Correa, who drives Formula 3 for ART, uses the same fitness coach who works with Oscar Piastri, so he is aware of the controversial situation with the Australian’s contract and believes the Alpine team is responsible for it .
When Fernando Alonso decided to move to Aston Martin in 2023, Alpine management was quick to announce that Piastri would become Esteban Ocon’s new teammate next season, but Oscar responded via social media to the team’s press release, refusing to partner with him. Alpine, whose reserve driver is now.
It turned out that he had already signed a contract with McLaren next year, where he would have to replace Daniel Riccardo, and now the FIA Contract Recognition Board (CRB) should resolve the conflict.
The CRB meeting started on Monday and Correa was on a Sky Sports program last night where he was asked to comment.
“I don’t know how much information I can share, but the fact is that this year I’m working with a coach who is fully responsible for Oscar’s physical preparation,” said Correa. So I know a lot. From my point of view, the Alpine team itself is most responsible for what happens. What has already appeared in the press only confirms this.
They started their own games there with Oscar and Fernando. In my opinion they have not kept the promises they made to Oscar, and any driver in his place would have done the same as him. I think so, based on what I know.
But of course, the more dramas, the better for the sport. I heard the CRB meeting has already started, but I think Piastri will still be driving for McLaren next year. I hope so, because he deserves a place in Formula 1. It’s a shame he didn’t get a place in the championship this season, but now at least he gets his chance.
