After the fallout of the Piastri saga, McLarenF1's Zak Brown believes AlpineF1Team's Otmar Szafnauer looks 'a little bit silly' for comments he made. Story:
team boss Szafnauer said at Spa he was"very" confident Alpine would win the case, as well as questioning Piastri's integrity given all of Alpine's support for him.
McLaren Racing CEO Brown and F1 team principal Andreas Seidl refrained from commenting on the case until it the result was announced, an approach that Brown felt was wiser in the long run. "Before the CRB ruling, they didn't know what they didn't know and we kept our mouths shut deliberately," said Brown at the IndyCar Laguna Seca finale last week."So we recognised there was a lot of noise, but we knew the truth would come out eventually and we could ride it out, as opposed to giving a running commentary.
"At the time we were not oblivious to the noise and some of the direct message notes I got from fans. But now we're very comfortable that the CRB ruling has come out, and that's very clear there."Photo by: FIA Pool Brown said the decision to keep quiet on the Piastri ruling was not influenced by the contract wrangling concerning Alex Palou in IndyCar, where both McLaren and Chip Ganassi Racing claimed to have a deal in place with him for 2023.Read Also:
