Formula 2 champion Oscar Piastri’s absence from the 2022 Formula 1 grid was declared an injustice not just by fans, but [by leading current F1 drivers too](https://www.the-race.com/formula-1/he-should-be-in-f1-leclerc-wants-swift-move-for-piastri/).

It looks like it’ll be rectified for 2023, but Piastri won’t be in one of his backer Alpine’s F1 cars next year.
