Expressing his disappointment, he said: “We will find a driver who will drive the car, and in the end, the car is still the performance differentiator. The disappointment stems from having invested so much and the loyalty you show someone, you don’t expect them not to give it back like everyone else.” Earlier this month, McLaren announced that Piastri will be replacing Daniel Ricciardo in the team for the 2023 season.

Rossi has now confirmed that this number has been shortlisted down to six. $3 $3 $3 Speaking to RacingNews365, the Frenchman said: “We’ll take our time, [because] we don’t want to make a mistake. There is no rush and we are in a comfortable situation. In all modesty, we have the hottest seat in the paddock at the moment. We are the fourth team on the grid [in terms of the current Constructors’ Championship], so people are waiting for us before to make a decision. We chose 14 drivers, as Otmar [Szafnauer, Alpine Team Principal] previously announced.” “Now we are down to six [potential drivers]. Some are not yet completely free to make a switch and others may not quite fit in the picture. By the end of September, we should have a good idea on who we want to sign.” BWT Alpine F1 Team@AlpineF1TeamWe know#Alpine7301205We know #Alpine https://t.co/vudQRJAJEo Rossi also spoke about all the drama that went down when Oscar Piastri denied signing with Alpine after the team announced that he would be driving for them in 2023.
