The immediate future of the reigning Formula 2 champion, Oscar Piastriis related to the role of test driver for the team Alpinethe latter about to start the engines in view of the next Formula 1 season. While not hitting the track in 2022 as a factory driver, the young Australian is equally ready to fill his position with enthusiasm and a desire to put himself out there. ‘operates, mainly on the basis of three reasons specified by him.
The 20-year-old from Melbourne, on the occasion of the event Blackpool Motorsporthas listed them as follows on the eve of the activities that await him with the French team: “I will be ready as a backup pilot should the need arise – he remarked – And I will therefore be present at every race weekend, as far as I know. Of course I will go to all the extra-European weekends, but I think also all the others. So this is the first aspect. The second – she added – is connected to an intense simulator work session. As a result, I expect it to get very challenging once the car actually hits the track, basically to look for a correlation between the simulator and track feedback. I will spend several hours in a dark room, with very sophisticated simulators ”.
In conclusion, Piastri then added a third element that will characterize his role, which, added to the previous two, will make him proud and lucky in his opinion: “Finally, we are doing a great test program with Alpine with last year’s car. In general, these will therefore be the most important aspects of my business this year. Of course, I’d love to race, but with the amount of testing days I have on an F1 car, I’m certainly luckier 99.9% of the population, as well as 99% of the pilots“.
