Australian Oscar Piastri will drive for McLaren in Formula One's Abu Dhabi post-season test after the team reached an agreement with Renault-owned Alpine to release him, both sides said on Saturday.
French driver Pierre Gasly will also be freed by Red Bull-owned AlphaTauri to test with Alpine, the team he is joining for 2023.
"I can confirm that in the end we reached a settlement agreement with all parties involved which enabled us to put Oscar in an old car last week in Paul Ricard to do a private test," McLaren boss Andreas Seidl told reporters at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix. "The season's nearly at the end and it was time to come to an agreement, and we did," said Alpine team principal Otmar Szafnauer.
Alpine and McLaren are in an intense battle for fourth place in the constructors' standings, with the French team seven points clear of their rivals with two races remaining."Kilometres nowadays in Formula One cars for race drivers are quite limited, with the regulations that are in place especially when it comes to running the current car," said the German.
