Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi has admitted that the French outfit might have to look at the possibility of loaning Oscar Piastri to another team for the time being. Speaking highly of Piastri, Rossi said that they believed he was a future world champion and wanted to groom him for that eventuality.

Other than maybe Williams, there aren’t too many probable candidates that fit the criteria. For the team, it’s going to be a crucial decision to decide whether it goes with veteran Fernando Alonso or the youth of Piastri. Only time will reveal the answer to this question.
