Fernando hasn't been powered by Mercedes since he left McLaren the first time round under a bit of a cloud 15 years ago. "He's fit as a fiddle and he's into F1 as he ever was, his break refreshed him, and he's not running out of steam like Sebastian Vettel has. So the drivers Piastri was going to potentially replace can breathe a sigh of relief." And is that to suggest Alpine were never going to get there? That's why he chose to look elsewhere."

How a young gun Aussie triggered shock Alonso switch... and why it's blown open the driver market.

Aston Martin, meanwhile, has offered Alonso a multiyear deal — reportedly two years with options for more — and an opportunity to be the undisputed centre of development. He joined Alpine last season knowing that it would be a midfield team in the short term but betting that it had the resources and personnel to become a winner in the medium term. Piastri was also reportedly destined for a loan to Williams next year in Nicholas Latifi’s place. He’s betting that despite Alpine being fourth, it’s no closer to the title than Aston Martin given the chasm between the midfield and the leaders. Webber is known to have been pushing his former Porsche WEC team principal Andreas Seidl into making room for the F2 champion. “I’d argue that there are drivers that are perhaps not as good as Oscar driving at the moment,” he said. Reportedly the team was willing to offer a one-plus-one deal. But Alonso, who wanted to realise the fruits of his labour at Alpine, wasn’t satisfied with that outcome. If they win the championship, it’s a bad decision. In Fernando Alonso the team not only has a like-for-like replacement but is arguably trading up. Nor would it have been satisfactory to know that he was being managed out of Formula 1 on the team’s terms rather than his own. It also raises questions about just how much further the silly season has to run.
