Oscar Piastri insists that he "will not be driving for Alpine next year", hours after the team announced they would be promoting him to a full time race seat in 2023.

"I understand that, without my agreement, Alpine F1 have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am driving for them next year. This is wrong and I have not signed a contract with Alpine for 2023. I will not be driving for Alpine next year", he wrote on Twitter.
