The fact that there is a Internet's Best Reactions video for something NOT a race shows how nuts this summer vacation already is

Everybody: “How could Alpine have gotten it so wrong?” (Scuderia Ferrari HQ after summer break) Binotto: “Welcome back, everyone, I hope you all had a good rest, and a special welcome back to our strategists who volunteered as Alpine’s press release team over the break. They did a magnificent job, couldn’t have been better.”

7:14 probably the most brilliant tweet of them all, inverting the colors to have Piastri wearing papaya colors. 🤣

[@superxavxii421]

I was thinking the same, genuinely looks like McLaren. Lol

Further on the Taunton Town FC post, someone in the replies asked if they got Oscar’s permission and they just simply replied “Did alpine?” And the shade has me dying!!

[@justScottyyy]

What makes this all even crazier is that it's just happened in Indycar as well a month ago. For those that don't know 2021 Indycar Champion Alex Palou was announced to be staying with his current team by CGR (his current team) before he said it wasn't true and that they had no permission to make that announcement or use the quotes they made up from "Palou". Moments later McLaren announce that Palou will be racing for them next year and Palou backed this up. Currently CGR are trying to sue their current driver Palou as the season continues...

[@Rafaxel_27]

If Piastri went to McLaren, then there would be 2 cases when a team announced one of their driver only for said driver to join McLaren in 2022. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice.

[@Banyo__]

Zak Brown: the real super villain.

[@jstoli996c4s]

@@Rafaxel_27 lol 😂

[@nathangamble125]

Plot twist: Palou is replacing Daniel Ricciardo Piastri is going to drive for CGR Leclerc is going to drive for HRT because a bad team that doesn't exist any more is still better than Ferrari Mahaveer Raghunathan is going to replace Leclerc at Ferrari because he's the only driver bad enough that it won't be Ferrari's fault when he loses everything

[@jama211]

It's really easy to avoid problems though... Just don't announce things before they've happened? WTF?

Piastri's reply?! I missed that

[@mikespearwood3914]

What was Piastri's response???

[@giveUup1921]

@@mikespearwood3914 he basically congratulate Albon with a GIF

[@ssmoythe3868]

My theory is that Webber is Piastri’s manager and Webber and Alonso are great friends. So Webber told Alonso to wait to announce his change right before Oscars contract expires so he won’t have to race for Alpine and Webber can get Piastri a seat at McLaren when Danny Ric moves to Alpine. The reason Alonso wants to do this is because Alpine could become a championship winning team but they don’t want to spend the money. Whereas Aston Martin with daddy stroll forking out billions into their F1 project so he thinks Aston could become good in the future.

Matty looked thrilled to finally do an IBR that doesn’t involve him crying about a Ferrari failure of some sort.

[@davidferrick]

I love how Alex Albon handled his renewal contract announcement today.

[@georgebidmead1200]

1:53 I know where this image is from. It was taken from the the future at the final race of 2022. Matt has just watched Ferrari mess up their strategy again this season and this is what he looks like after another nine races of being a Ferrari fan.

[@josephguillerey4391]

love Matt not recognising himself ^^

[@DarthJF]

F1 teams last year when fans were begging for someone to sign up Piastri: "No" F1 teams this year: "I have Piastri!" "No I have Piastri!"

9:20 the best part of that one was the response cos someone replied: "Did you get his permission 😂" Taunton: "Did Alpine?"

Alex Albon just now loaded the cannon and absolutely blasted Alpine on Twitter

[@TheGrejp]

7:16 I love that his shirt inverts colours from Alpine blue to McLaren orange

[@DaniMacYo]

This is all bizarre and entertaining at the same time.

[@kiwi_commander]

I think the best way to describe this is "The Piasco."

[@josephnovak1315]

I love the “until he wasn’t” meme even more because the negative color image turns the Alpine suit into Mclaren colors

[@ryangross6599]

Happy to see Matt not suffering through another Ferrari bag fumble is heartening. Nice video. Keep up the good work.

[@Cellsius]

At this point I don't think we must call Fernando the "burner of bridges", I think he came back in 2020 just to get on fire the whole F1. That's the real plan. He's one of those men that just want to watch the world burn, and you can clearly see him causing that mess in Alpine and come back in Spa with a huge smile in his face. You must love Fernando at this point. He's just above everyone.

[@rafaelmarkos4489]

The real 'El plan'.

[@wombat4191]

Alonso and Piastri must have been working in a league together. Alonso's response was just too fast :D So this was El Plan all along

[@calumbishop7082]

Lets see: Burned bridge with Minardi Burned bridge with Renault Burned bridge with McLaren Burned bridge with Renault again Burned bridge with Ferrari Burned bridge with McLaren again Burned bridge with Alpine/Renault for a third time Honestly looking its more of a case with Renault of 'what did you think was going to happen when you rehired him given what happened before'.

[@Snephets]

Wasn’t expecting this!

[@ActionReactionEntertainment]

You keep saying he's in strong negotiation Nah. He has, 100%, signed on the dotted line with a team. No driver, ever, that's trying to make F1, would emphatically deny a team offer, unless they had a 100% guaranteed seat elsewhere, firmly locked in.

[@BoliveiraNTPW]

We need to thank Vettel for all of this.

[@AKStovall]

If Piastri isn't signed with Alpine through 2023 in any fashion... the "legal" battle is an exercise in futility, since he would have no ties to them from the end of this year moving forward... If there is no contract... there is no breach. literally is that simple.

[@RoyMatzem]

He is on Alpine, so definitly exist a contract, the question is, what the exit term of his contract? He seem confident for sure, but in 2004 the exact same happen with Button, and he was obligated to race in BAR, so lets see

[@adrianhjordan1981]

I think the absolute best reaction was actually Albon's announcing his resigning for Williams 🤣🤣

[@rhyscarter3939]

2 things, 1st i think having Ocon as a teammate is something to consider as a negative factor if you are considering Pros and Cons before signing. 2nd, imagine after all this drama his performance is at the level of Latifi, insane.
