I’m not so sure that’s what’s going down... There's still a lot of speculation on what’s going to happen. He could end up at Williams for a year via McLaren paying for the seat and then over to replace Danny, he could do that with same thing will Merc while waiting for Lewis to go. McLaren could buy out Dannys last year and he could go McLaren from the jump. I don't think there’s a way he firmly turns down that Apline drive if he doesn't have a definitive drive lined up for next year.

I also think there’s a lot going on with Alpine behind the scene and that it might make it a pretty toxic place and not a place you want to be if you can avoid it. The ousting of Prost and Cyril and that whole crew went down rather bad. How you can treat a legend like Prost that way, specially as a French team... They go and add Otmar as TP which was head scratching. Ocon who isn't going anywhere is pretty hated on the paddock by all reports, there arn't many driver that he gets along with. Alonso who clearly gets along with Piastri clearly doesn't with Alpine leadership which I'm sure has an influence. On top of that CEO Laurent Rossi has been vocal in supposedly not wanting any help leading the team even though he has a whopping 2 years now of any experience what so ever in motorsport. If you were privy to all that plus more behind the scenes we don't know I don't blame him for wanting a better environment. You get like 2 season in F1, maybe even 1, to prove yourself before you get bounced for non performance you have to make it count.
