The fact that they have an issue now with 3x drivers under contract is another matter entirely. Will Danny R go back to Alpine, Mmmm maybe as its different management and team principle so it 'could' work him returning there. Are there other options, maybe but other than Williams and would he really go there and not Alpine I'm not so sure.

Never waste a good crisis: just imagine for a moment that Alpine could convince Vettel to roll back his decision to retire at the end of this season + join them for 2023. He's 35. Michael Schumacher also retired a first time when he was 35 (last season: 2006 - Ferrari), but made a surprise comeback when he was 41 (2010-2011-2012 - Mercedes), although he could never make his old days mark again. His vacated Mercedes AMG seat was offered to Lewis Hamilton for the 2013 season. The rest is history.
