Hello everybody and welcome to the weekly F1 news chat with your host, Mark Galagher and your co-host, Katie Ferman.

We're here to give you all the gossip, all the news, all the chit chat, as well as answering some of your questions as well.

Because we are Twitch bound. We're loving the Twitch life, Katie. Welcome to the Twitch life.

Oscar Piaestry to Williams. That's the big rumor, isn't it Katie? We are hearing that it could happen as soon as...

Where was it? So they think the announcement could be around the Silverstone weekend, which is like the end of this month, really.

It's from like the first of the third, but... Yeah.

Of July, but yeah, it could be announced before we get to Silverstone, which does give me a lot of days I've

who have last year when we heard George Russell to Mercedes, that was going to be happening around the British Grand Prix weekend,

and then we had to wait months for an announcement. So we'll wait to see what happens, but yeah, that's the big rumor at the moment.

And I can't say that I'm not happy about it because everyone that's anyone thinks Oscar Piaestry should have an F1 seat,

and I feel like Williams could be a big stepping stone.

And then there's also the discussion in there that Williams could then switch to Renault Power Units.

So they would be a customer team of Alpine, which could be really interesting.

So there's quite a lot of elements to this story, which I'm in favour of.

Me too, I think Oscar Piaestry is such a talent.

It was a shame that you didn't manage to get a seat last year, but look, that this is how sometimes the way the world of Formula One transfer markets work.

Right? Sometimes there just isn't a space at a team, and you know, there's only 20 drivers on the grid.

It's not a lot of drives available, but you also have the concern that maybe he'll go down the route of a Stoffel van Dorn,

or even a Davide Valsecchi. He won the Formula 2 championship, but then never got to Formula One,

and he was a pretty big talent at that point in motorsport.

So there has been moments where it's actually almost a poison chalice to win the Formula 2 championship,

and then you're not allowed to go back to Formula 2.
