Yes, Ferrari were even given clear signs from Alpine and Haas that the hard tyre was not a good choice.
Brilliant in the cool-down room. Lewis: “They were on the hards???” Everyone else bursts out laughing “Yeah!”
I'm presuming this is because Alpine wouldn't offer him a multi year deal (bloody stupid from them really).
Guessing that means Piastri will be promoted to a race seat at Alpine, which is excellent. He’s very, very good.
And I'd imagine that is the reason they didn't want to pay to retain Alonso for more than a year: they need to promote Piastri to the big leagues, or he'll go elsewhere. Also, this is dumb: https://jalopnik.com/toto-wolff-risk-of-brain-damage-from-porpoising-means-1849356193 Not the bit about porpoising potentially causing brain injury, but the suggestion that all of the teams that do not have porpoising issues should change their designs to accommodate the teams that have failed to do so. If it's a safety issue, it's incumbent upon those teams to do the right thing today, and lobby for changes tomorrow.
Respect Tiger. They would have pushed hard to try and get Woods on board but great that he's stayed loyal to the PGA Tour. Tiger Woods turned down $700 to $800m LIV Golf offer - Greg Norman - BBC Sport
