McLaren’s Formula 1 driver plans for 2023 featured a major risk when it became clear the team wanted to bin a multiple grand prix winner, in Daniel Ricciardo, for a rookie that McLaren hadn’t even evaluated itself.
Oscar Piastri’s switch from Alpine to McLaren was one of this season’s biggest talking points, and the move was so contentious that Alpine spent a long time playing hardball.
In an unexpected twist, though, McLaren, Piastri and Alpine have finally reached a mutual understanding - handing a boost to McLaren and the man tasked with succeeding where Ricciardo failed.
