Alpine say it 'didn't make sense' to give Fernando Alonso the 'longer' contract duration he was asking for. F1
Fernando Alonso wanted ‘longer’ deal at Alpine, but to them it ‘didn’t make sense’Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi has said offering Fernando Alonso a longer contract “didn’t make sense” given the deal they had with Oscar Piastri.
But Alpine’s plans were scuppered quickly when Alonso made the shock move to join Aston Martin next season and Piastri had already signed a pre-contract agreement with McLaren by that time, leaving Alpine without a driver to partner Esteban Ocon in 2023. “Fernando had a desire to drive longer in F1, which we couldn’t match or we would have lost Oscar. It didn’t make sense for us.“So with Fernando, we would have loved to continue. He’s an amazing champion, he will remain a legend of our brand – but it didn’t work and that’s life.
