Alpine remains adamant it has a valid contract with Piastri and stands by its announcement.
Really not the most positive way to start a professional workplace relationship.

I don’t see this on any other sites yet.
Sheesh but after everything Alpine did for Piastri he does this.

Yeah, it’s a bit iffy. Only reason I posted it and am thinking it might have some value is that it’s Dieter Rencken, who is generally very particular about his sources and info.

So, Summer Shenanigans in full swing already. Things that are being, or will be, spoken about during the break:
- Piastri and Alpine / Piastri and McLaren.
- Danny Ric’s future. If Piastri is going to McLaren does Danny go back to Alpine?
- Reports that Haas have put contract extension discussions with Mick Shumacher on hold.
- Whether Mattia Binotto will still have his job when racing resumes in Belgium.
- Whether Chuck Leclerc will still want to stay a Ferrari driver next year. (Could that be maybe why the Schumacher-Haas discussions are on hold? Grumpy Leclerc being courted by someone else and opening the door for Mick to be fast-tracked into the Ferrari seat he is destined to get?)
What else?

Not surprised there’s so many Ferrari mentions…

Not a big Ferarri fan, but love seeing Charles and Max battle! Makes it so much fun! Then throwbin a rogue Merc and HOPEFULLY a McL and this could be amazing…
Then let it rain out and we all watch the rain in Belgium…
