ok I could not resist trying to put together a timeline for all of this mclaren/alpine silly season drama, with only minimal editorialising. i might edit to update as any new historic info comes up, and will add any subsequent updates in a reblog.
[fabrizio romano voice] here we go
2021
Nov 15 - Alpine send a ‘Terms Sheet’ agreement to Mark Webber and Oscar Piastri
The document outlines a roadmap for Piastri between 2020 and 2023, with limited detail beyond that
Both parties are clear that the next step is to sort out two contracts: one for Piastri’s services as a reserve driver in 2022, and another for his service in F1 for 2023 and 2024
Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi promises Webber that a proper F1 agreement would be sent to him shortly - within ten business days
This does not happen, and talks ongoing for the following weeks. Alpine blame a lack of resourcing in their legal team for the delays
2022
February
Feb 17 - Otmar Szafnauer announced as the new Alpine team principal, following his departure from Aston Martin
March
March 1 - Webber requests that the contract be sorted by this date so that Piastri’s team have time to evaluate ahead of the start of the season
March 2 -  Webber is promised that the contract would be sent to him the following day
March 4 - Alpine send Webber a draft agreement for the reserve driver position only, with a note that a contract for F1 for 23/24 will be sent the following week (once again, they do not)
March 13 - Alpine and McLaren announce that Piastri has joined McLaren’s pool of reserve drivers
March 14 - Alpine lodge the Terms Sheet with the CRB, signed by both parties. They have, retroactively, added the phrase “Legally binding” to the Heads of Terms title (lol)
The documents lodged referenced only the 2022 reserve driver role and made no mention of any extensions or options to extend
March 15 - Alpine send Webber & Piastri the proposed F1 agreement, which contains nothing definitive regarding which team Piastri will be driving for in 2023 (and beyond)
March 18 - 2022 F1 season commences with Friday practice at the Bahrain GP 
May
Early May - McLaren allegedly inform Ricciardo they are looking at other options for 2023
May 19 - Webber/Piastri sent a proposal to sign a four-year contract from 2023 to 2026.
This includes a year at Williams in 2023, and potentially one more for 2024, if Alonso re-signs with Alpine
It also contains a firm deal to race for Alpine in 2025/26
This is apparently when Webber and Piastri decided to start seriously looking at other offers 
Early discussions with McLaren had already taken place, but kick into high gear following this proposal
May 28 - McLaren extend Pato O’Ward’s contract through the end of 2025, fuelling speculation about Ricciardo’s position. Brown states, regarding Ricciardo: “​​there are mechanisms which we're committed to each other and then there are mechanisms which we're not.” (again, lol)
June
June 4 - preliminary deal signed between Piastri and McLaren, for an unspecified role in 2023
June 10 - Ricciardo again responds to recent criticism of his performance, stating that his contract is clear, and he is fully committed
July
July 4 - final race contract signed between Piastri and McLaren, for him to drive for McLaren in 2023, subject to there being a vacancy for him. If Ricciardo does not leave, he will be the reserve driver and take over the seat from 2024
July 12 - Chip Ganassi Racing announce they have picked up the option in Alex Palou’s contract and he will race for the IndyCar team in 2023
Alex Palou responds: “I have recently learned from the media that this afternoon, without my approval, Chip Ganassi Racing issued a press release announcing that I would be driving with CGR in 2023 … I have recently informed CGR, for personal reasons, I do not intend to continue with the team after 2022..”
McLaren welcome Alex Palou to the team for 2023, including with a tweet via their F1 twitter account (instead of the IndyCar Arrow McLaren account). They do not specify which team he will be driving for
July 13 - Ricciardo posts on Instagram: “There have been a lot of rumours around my future in Formula 1, but I want you to hear it from me. I am committed to McLaren until the end of next year and am not walking away from the sport. Appreciate it hasn’t always been easy, but who wants easy! I’m working my ass off with the team to make improvements and get the car right and back to the front where it belongs. I still want this more than ever.”
July 27 - Sebastian Vettel tells Aston Martin he will be retiring at the end of the season, and the announcement is made the following day
July 27 - Chip Ganassi racing sue Alex Palou
July 31 - Szafnauer says he is confident Alonso will sign with Alpine for 2023, and that he expects talks will be “very straightforward”
July 31 - F1 summer break commences following the Hungarian GP
August
Aug 1 - Aston Martin announce that Fernando Alonso will be driving for them in 2023 “and beyond”. Alpine are understood to be completely blindsided by the news
Aug 2 - Alpine announce that Piastri will race alongside Ocon in 2023
Piastri responds: “I understand that, without my agreement, Alpine F1 have put out a press release late this afternoon that I am driving for them next year. This is wrong and I have not signed a contract with Alpine for 2023. I will not be driving for Alpine next year.”
He inadvertently becomes a meme
Aug 8 - Szafnauer says to a Spanish outlet that he “expected more loyalty” from Piastri
Mid August - over the summer break, Ricciardo and McLaren agree to part ways after the 2022 season. His payout is speculated to be somewhere between half and his full contract, in the range of $15m-$20m
Aug 24 - McLaren announce that Ricciardo will leave the team at the end of 2022
Aug 25 - date for CRB meeting regarding Piastri’s contract announced 
Aug 29 - CRB hearing commences. Both Toto Wolff and Christian Horner implicitly question Piastri’s loyalty
September
Sep 2 - CRB unanimously finds that Alpine’s term sheet did not constitute a valid contract, and the McLaren are the only team with a valid contract for Piastri’s services. They also rule that Alpine must pay McLaren and Piastri’s legal fees
Following the CRB ruling, McLaren announce that Oscar Piastri will drive alongside Lando Norris in 2023
Where things stand currently (Sep 5):
The CGR/McLaren/Palou situation is ongoing, although McLaren have recently indicated that they are willing to buy out Palou’s contract, a position they had previously rejected
It’s still unclear who will take the second seat at Alpine. Ricciardo, Gasly, and Schumacher have all been speculated upon, although the Gasly rumours have gathered significant steam over the Dutch GP race week
That would leave an open seat at Alpha Tauri, with Colton Herta apparently the favourite, if the FIA is willing to make an exception to the superlicense points requirement. Zak Brown has also voiced his support for Herta. Felipe Drugovich, the nominal F2 champion, is also rumoured to be in with a shot
There are still open questions about who will fill Palou’s seat at CGR if he indeed leaves, and who would fill Herta’s at Andretti if he left
