Mark Webber criticises ‘ballooned’ figures over Alpine’s support of Oscar PiastriMark Webber has hit back at Alpine’s claim that they have spent “millions” on developing Oscar Piastri and priming him for a Formula 1 seat, with the former Red Bull driver saying the figures have been exaggerated.
Piastri had been a part of the Alpine Academy, the team’s young driver programme, and has taken part in multiple in-season tests for the team alongside simulator work in getting him ready for Formula 1 – be it with Alpine themselves or a loan move elsewhere. “The numbers have been really ballooned out of proportion,” Webber said on Channel 4 of the amount Alpine have spent on Piastri.
“The junior categories, Oscar got some good prize money for winning those championships as well, outside of Alpine’s investment.
