Why is Oscar Piastri Replacing Daniel Riccardo?
Rumors abounded that Oscar Piastri was set to join the official Renault-owned Alpine team for his first season in Formula 1. In fact, Piastri had been given a contract but outright rejected after receiving an offer from the McLaren Formula 1 team. McLaren was so passionate about signing Piastri, that they fired Daniel Ricciardo despite the fact that Ricciardo’s contract is still good. This may result in the McLaren Formula 1 team having to continue paying Daniel Ricciardo throughout the rest of his contract, which is to say that McLaren must be really excited to have Oscar Piastri on the team!
