Formula Two leader Oscar Piastri will switch his focus to Formula One next week when he tests for Alpine in Abu Dhabi before starting a new role as the Renault-owned team's reserve.

"It’s almost like my first official day in my new job for next year," said the Melbourne-born driver, tipped to become the next Australian to break into Formula One after McLaren's Daniel Ricciardo. "He is going to be doing a lot of development work, a lot of simulator work, spending time in the factory, very close with the engineers, he’s going to be doing quite a lot of track running as well," he said.

Alpine have Esteban Ocon under contract until 2024, while double world champion Fernando Alonso is signed to the end of next year.
