Happy 2 year anniversary to this iconic tweet!

That was such a weird and funny series of events. Oscar made a killer call, obviously, and alpine fumbled stuff per usual
- Imagine if Alpine had been less... Alpine about it all and had actually signed Piastri. He'd presumably be nowhere and Ricciardo might be having a better time at McLaren.
  
  You know I had not even thought about that. I love Piastri, he is doing something awesome with McLaren, but part of me would love to see a smiling Ricciardo back on the podium. Could Dani be winning races if still at McLaren?

I remember people on reddit saying that wasn't professional and he wouldn't be taken seriously in the paddock anymore. I love armchair experts.
- If Alpine publicly announce wrong info, he can publicly correct it
- I love armchair experts.
  If I made an F1 car, I just made it faster. It's really easy to solve Alpine's problems.

I don't know anything about f1 racing, what's the context here?
- The context is basically the tweet, Alpine team announced first they signed Oscar Piastri to drive for them. He had privately signed with another team, McLaren. He called out Alpine very publicly. Then recently his season started taking off with McLaren developing into a top car, while Alpine struggles.
