Alonso explains Alpine switch, Ricciardo ponders F1 future

Associated Press  

Fernando Alonso wanted a long-term deal at Alpine that the team was not offering. I never want to just be a driver and make up the numbers.” F1’s “silly season” of free agency hit a frenzied pitch at the start of F1’s summer break with Alonso’s defection to Aston Martin. I felt it was a nice project for the future.” The decision stunned Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer, who has said he learned of Alonso’s defection via the Aston Martin announcement. “Let’s see if we can short-cut that time as much as possible and make Aston Martin successful next season.” Alonso’s move, the day after the Hungarian GP, left Alpine scrambling. But Piastri then declined the offer and the 21-year-old Australian, described as “an incredible talent by Alonso,” has been linked to McLaren as Ricciardo’s replacement.
