Otmar Szafnauer has blamed “untrustworthy” individuals within Alpine’s F1 team over the contract ordeal which saw Oscar Piastri go to McLaren.

    “We absolutely did everything that was meant to be done by that contract that was never signed.

    “In English law, had we taken it to an English court, maybe we would have won.

    “You know, that’s unjust enrichment. ‘You know, you didn’t sign the contract, but you took all this and you’re not delivering what you’re supposed to deliver.”

    Pretty fucking rich. Piastri didn’t make Alpine not sign. And if they actually had their shit together they could have chosen not to give him the benefits without an unsigned contact, but instead they acted like it was signed and expected to still get the benefits?

    How the fuck do they think they could have won the case? Like, if I offered a contact to Alpine that I would shit in front of their office and they would let me drive a season in F1, and then they didn’t sign, could I bring them to court after I shat on the sidewalk and demand they let me drive? Bonkers.
