So is Esteban off to Mercs? Or where else can he go? Pierre stays at Alpine and if Yuki leaves/get told to leave he can go and join Pierre again.So Esteban is apparently at risk of getting benched for a race. People have put footage up of his first lap, and he's overly aggressive with Pierre throughout it and pulls another stupid move sticking his nose into a gap that doesn't exist. This is when there have been team orders not to fight ever since they almost gave Famin a heart attack in Miami, and that was explicitly restated for Monaco.
I don't think they'd do it, particularly not at Canada where Esteban has a grid penalty that should separate the drivers nicely so they don't need to worry about another lap 1 incident. But if he does it again?
I think it's pretty obvious now that Esteban isn't staying for next year though. Eric Boullier says Pierre has already signed a contract with Alpine.
Love a merry go round!
