This gets brought up a lot but if he had the Alpine seat open he would have taken it, he’s obviously signed the McLaren deal as in his mind it was McLaren or Williams.Absolutely, i find it a really strange career move.
Driving at a solid mid car like Alpine would have been a great start for him. Not like McLaren is any huge upgrade if it even is one, but now it will come with so much more scrutiny.
It would have never came down to Alpine or McLaren for him
