Alpine's Laurent Rossi says McLaren-bound Oscar Piastri will always be associated with this summer's saga, even if he 'becomes the next Michael Schumacher'. F1
The 21-year-old is tipped to be the next big thing in Formula 1 but is entering the sport in difficult circumstances having become the centre of a very public tug-of-war.
“He grew up in this team. He knows everyone in our team. We’ve shown our commitment to him. Shouldn’t he be a bit grateful for that? Oscar would do well to be fast and deliver results next year. But even if he becomes the new Michael Schumacher, this story will stick with him forever.” “If he says he didn’t feel the full affection from us, I wonder why we offered him all the opportunities to become as complete a Formula 1 driver as possible?
While it may leave a bitter taste in their mouth, Piastri did not act unlawfully. He was free to talk to other teams and when he found a team willing to put him in their seat, he jumped at the opportunity.
