Mark Webber says there’s “a bit of shenanigans” at Alfa Romeo over the final 2022 seat and is hoping that favours his client Oscar Piastri.

Antonio Giovinazzi’s current seat is the only one that has yet to be filled for the 2022 campaign, and a number of drivers have been linked to it.

Guanyu Zhou looked all but certain to take it at one point, but in recent times Colton Herta has emerged as a contender with rumours swirling that Andretti are to buy a majority, controlling stake in Sauber.

Webber says nothing is close to being settled and is hoping that could help out compatriot Piastri, who is also apparently on Alfa’s shortlist.
