It depends what has been said which Palio disagrees with and who has the right to exercise the option for 2023
A disaster for Mclaren to be dragged in it to be honest

I totally agree instead of this BS rule that only 10 teams can compete..this is not a problem.in Moto GP with 12 teams competing
So Fernando is off to Aston Martin. Fernando Alonso to join Aston Martin F1 in 2023
Who's going to take the Renault/Alpine seat?

Well they can't be bringing up the back of the grid and certainly made no sense to have Schumacher jnr

What is it with teams wanting to prop up Alonso's career...
- in 2002, as test-driver at Renault, he was slower than Button or Trulli, but he was promoted to the race-team, at Button's expense
- In 2004, Trulli was beating Alonso in the championship. Having fallen out with the team manager, Trulli mysteriously started getting slower, and then was sacked. (Allegedly because he wouldn't sign a management contract with FB
) - In 2007, he threw his toys out of the pram, because McLaren wouldn't favour him in races and qualifying; this suggests that this was what he was experiencing at Renault in 2005/06. In '07, I also don't know how Alonso faced a ban, as he was knowingly discussing the use of Ferrari IP
- In 2008, his team-mate agreed to crash for him to gift him a race win. (I still don't buy that Alonso didn't know about it)
- He moved to Ferrari in 2010, and the team started well, and then got worse over time.
- The move to McLaren was not spectacular, and he was kept on for too long - in his first season, he was beaten by Button. In the next, Button had reportedly lost his mojo...
- Then, after leaving F1, he was gifted a drive back at Renault/Alpine.

Have to say does Lawrence Stroll know what he is doing?What is it with teams wanting to prop up Alonso's career...
I hope that Aston Martin continues to be as successful for Alonso as it has been this season.

2003 he proved that he was good enough in the race seat. won Hungarian GP by a lap, took pole in Malaysia, had 4 podiums which was best of the rest & had easily beaten trulli his teammate
2005 & 2006 was very good & drove well. 2005 he was fortunate but cant be blamed for others terrible design or strategy. 2006 was the 1st time Schumacher was defeated in equal equipment since Hakkinen in 1998
2007 even if he self destructed, because he didn't like being beaten by a rookie & collapsed under pressure
2008 theres no defending Singapore but he also won the Japanese GP on merit
2010 should've won a title if ferrari hadnt cocked it up, i know im shocked as well. by forgetting that vettel existed
2012 it was a miracle how Alonso nearly took that Ferrari to a world title. it was on a par to if Lewis took this yr championship to title decider
Yet another team on the grid is going to receive his 6 tenths.
