Alpine reacts to the departure of Fernando Alonso

Between Alpine et Fernando Alonso, the story will end on November 20 at the end of the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. This Monday 1^er August, less than 24 hours after the end of the race in Hungary, Aston Martin announced the big news: the double world champion will join the builder of Gaydon from 2023.

If Aston Martin communicated, Alpine for his part preferred to wait before reacting publicly. After a few (long) minutes, the reaction came through two small tweets.

« We wish Fernando the best for his future in Formula 1. Fernando has always been, and always will be, part of the family Renault et Alpine and we are proud and privileged to have shared so many moments on the track together, can we read on the Twitter account ofAlpine. We are focusing on the second part of the 2022 season with Fernando still wearing blue and we will continue to push to the maximum until the last round in November."

As for the successor of the double world champion, Alpine decided not to reveal it for the moment. “ The team will announce its driver roster for the 2023 Formula 1 season in due course. » So be patient…

We look forward to finishing the remainder of the 2022 season with Fernando in blue, and we'll keep pushing to the maximum until the final lap in November.

The team will announce its driver line-up for the 2023 Formula 1 season in due course.
