To be honest it’s getting a bit annoying on the interwebs how DR fans act like McLaren is the villain in all this.
Where was that energy when mazepin got canned? Oh yeah, he wasn’t a likable chap so it was justified.

I like DR as much as the next guy but if you purely look at the driver DR, McLaren is right to explore other options

Lack of Piastri loyalty upsets Alpine more than Alonso exit

Las Vegas scheduled for November 18th, 2023 so b2b finish with Abu Dhabi (obviously Raiders would play a home game on Thanksgiving weekend and even F1 can't beat out NFL for ratings on that weekend).

Don't give them ideas. I can imagine they'll come up with a play-off system like in NASCAR soon enough.

I always thought Otmar was an idiot. This confirms it.

Where was that loyalty when he personally shafted Perez who had a signed contract? What about his integrity when they blatantly copied a Merc design then denied that they did, only to copy the entire car the next year? What about Renault who went through four drivers in a couple of years? And talk of compensation for all of the testing Oscar has covered? Gee, no wonder they don't have a driver academy anymore.

Imagine being in a driver academy when they turn around and say that they want compensation for your running because you chose to drive for a team other than them, despite them missing a signing date to keep you?

I understand where Alpine is coming from, I really can, but unless Piastri and Webber deliberately hoodwinked and deceived Alpine and the Contract Board agreed McLaren's contract in error, Alpine don't really have anything to hang their hat on.

looks like company policy in Renault to have scumbag bosses who cannot work things right
