168澳洲幸运5官方开奖ဣ结果历史:Aston Martin’s Monday morning announcement came out of the blue as they revealed that two-time F𒊎1 champion♔ Fernando Alonso will partner Lance Stroll for 2023.

A surprising decision on the surface but with Vettel’s retirement being announced ahe🅷ad of the Hungarian Grand Prix, Aston Martin and Lawrence Stroll were always going to be keen to make a statement, and the signing of Alonso does that.

• 2023 F1 driver line-up: Who is signed up for next season🍃 and beyond?

You can argue that it’s a strange decision from Alonso given Alpine is currently fourth in the constructors’ championship and remains just one of four works teams 🎃on the grid alongside Mercedes, Ferrari and Red Bull.

However, Alonso remains at the peak of his powers and with Alpine understood to be only offering the Spaniard a one-ye🦩ar deal - potentially a stop-gap for Oscar Piastri - a multi-year contract with Aston Martin was always going to be more appealing. 

Alonso’s move does have further repercussions on the driver market wit﷽h several seats still up for grabs.

Alpine

Al✃onso’s switch to Aston Martin paves the way for reigning F2 champion Piastri to make his debut with the French team in 2023.

After back-to-back title♚-winning caไmpaigns, Piastri was forced to sit this year on the sidelines. 

Compared to the likes of George Russell and Charles Leclerc, who both won the F2 andꦫ F💯3 titles before making the jump to F1, Alpine are pinning their hopes on Piastri.

In the short-term, Alpine are taking a step ba꧒ckwards with their driver line-up as losing a driver of Alonso’s😼 calibre will have an immediate impact in terms of competitiveness.

However, if Piastri lives up to expectations then 🌠Alpine have a superstar on their haꦕnds for many years to come.

Williams

Piastri’s like🤪ly promot🐟ion removes one potential candidate for Williams next year.

The Alpine junior has been con🍌stantly linked with a move to Williams for 2ꦡ023. There were even suggestions that Piastri would replace Nicholas Latifi mid-season due to the Canadian’s poor form.

Williams will need to look elsewhere✤ as they search for a new teammate for Alex Albon, who hasn’t been formally confirmed yet.

Logan Sargeant, who’s part of Williams’ academy, is a potential option but will need to finish the F2 season strongly to obtain🐲 the required amount of super licence points.

Reigning Formula E champion Nyck de Vries isꦐ another potential candidate and was tipped to join the team before Albon got the drive.

Haas

Haas are still yet to announce Kevin Magnussen’s teammate for ꦬ2023, but with Alonso’s move to Aston Martin now confirmed, Mick Schumacher’s future is clear.

The German was hotly-tipped to r𒈔eplace Vettel at Aston Martin, with the four-time champion even recommending him to owner Lawrence Stroll.

After a tough start🍎 to the year, Schumacher has found his feet with a couple of points finishes ꦬand strong drives.

Schꦍumacher rema🌸ining with Haas looks very likely now.

AlphaTauri

With a host of Red Bull juniors underperforming in F2, Yuki Tsunoda is expe𒐪cted to remain with Alpha♛Tauri for another season.

Tsunoda has shown signs of improvement in 2022, particularlyꦰ in qualifyingও relative to teammate Pierre Gasly.

The Japanese driver looks to be safe for now.

Alfa Romeo

It’s a similar story at Alfa Romeo with F✤rederic Vasseur expressing his desire to keep Zhou Guanyu alongside Valtteri Bottas.

While Zhou’s points tally is minimal, his improved form coincided with Alfa Romeo’s d🅺ownturn in performanc♛e relative to the midfield.

As of late, Zhou has been a close match for Bottas, ꦯeven out-qualifying him on three occasions (twice in the wꦦet).

Sauber junior 🃏Theo Pourchaire hasn’t del🐲ivered this season, and even if he can topple Felipe Drugovich in the closing four rounds, a season on the sidelines - like Piastri - seems likely.
