I do have to say that this news is significantly less "epic" than is being hyped up to be in my opinion. Its basically midfield teams squabbling over who will most likely be the next Hulkenberg or Heidfeld.

is contract negotiation allowed during summer break then? since it is for 2023?

The shutdown is primarily so the rank and file get time off, so I’m sure the team managers, drivers, and respective flying squadrons of lawyers don’t count.

If Piastri hadn’t tweeted “nah mate, I’m not driving for them Alpine drongos.” *downs a VB longneck* then none of this would be that big of a deal.

Two pro-click podcasts. Sometimes I spend more time listening to F1 podcasts than watching actual races. What is wrong with me?

For any Aussies in the thread, Box of Neutrals is a pretty funny F1 podcast as well.
The guys are from Melbourne so there is a fair bit of stupid AFL and Franco Cozzo related in-jokes.

Do you feel the same way?

Spice World War II posted:

Formula1.com says that Piastri had a clause in his contract that Alpine had to offer him a drive for 2023 or they would lose him, at the same time they were offering Alonso a one year contract extension and Ocon is under contract for multiple years anyway. Of course, Alonso was not happy about a one year extension and that was the main point of contention in the contract negotiation, but for Alpine this was all small beans and clearly Alonso was going to sign any moment now because he would have no other options in F1.

So then Vettel dropped out of Aston Martin, Daddy Stroll waved the new factory and wind tunnel that will come online for 2023 around and offered Alonso a two year contract, and that was that.

Webber meanwhile had been working on a drive for Piastri the whole time, because they knew Alpine wouldn't be able to offer a drive, and I guess they will now argue over what deadline Alpine had to stick to before Piastri was allowed to sign elsewhere, because pretty sure the contract wouldn't have said "Alpine can decide on the last day of the 22 season if they will offer a drive for Piastri in 23".

So, all in all, Alpine truly are the Ferrari of contract negotiations

it should be trivial for a lawyer to figure out who's in the right, right?

I think you'll typically find that most lawyers will tell you that whoever is signing their paycheck is right and the other party is wrong.

As funny as Alpine getting owned is, I do love the idea of Piastri being forced to race for them next year after all this. It would be hilariously awkward.

If Alonso hadn't jumped over to AM, Alpine was going to lose Piastri anyway, right? Was that smart if Piastri really is such a generational prospective talent?

There are a few exceptions, things like maintenance of the manufacturing equipment, wind tunnel, and IT hardware that would be difficult to schedule in otherwise.

Other than that, anyone who doesn't directly contribute to making the car go faster doesn't get shutdown.
