Fernando Alonso is currently driving for Alpine, a team that is improving and is fighting for P4 in the championship against McLaren this season. The Spaniard’s contract was up for renewal at Alpine and with the kind of form that he has shown so far this season, there wasn’t any speculation around the Spaniard not getting an extension.

Fernando Alonso’s move opens the door for Oscar Piastri at Alpine
While the move might be shocking on many levels for the Spaniard, what it has also done is it has opened the doors for Oscar Piastri’s entry into F1. The young Australian is touted by many as being the real deal. He has won both the F2 and F3 championships on the way to F1 and is currently an Alpine reserve driver.
With Alonso out of the way, it gives Oscar Piastri the opportunity to make his debut with Alpine, a team that has been making its resurgence this season.
