In June, the Anglo-French marque, known as Alpine since 2021, announced that Briatore would return as an advisor to Renault CEO Luca de Meo. Briatore previously led the Enstone-based squad to success in the 1990s as Benetton and in the mid-2000s as Renault. After a ban in 2009 over the ‘Crashgate’ scandal that was later overturned, Briatore is now working with de Meo to revitalize the Alpine team. Despite missing out on signing Carlos Sainz, Alpine is set to promote Jack Doohan alongside Pierre Gasly while focusing on other areas like the technical and management side before the driver lineup. Briatore is confident in Alpine’s future competitiveness, especially once the regulations reset in 2026, aiming for podium finishes by 2027 under the new rules.
