- Australian has ruled out driving for Alpine next season
- Principle Otmar Szafnauer says team may seek compensation
Alpine could seek millions in compensation at the high court if their Australian reserve Oscar Piastri refuses to race for them next season, according to the Formula One team’s principal Otmar Szafnauer.
Renault-owned Alpine announced highly-rated Piastri last week as replacement for double world champion Fernando Alonso in their 2023 lineup but the 21-year-old has ruled it out.
