Ex-Alpine sporting director Alan Permane is poised to return to F1 and is set to join AlphaTauri, according to reports.
F1 veteran Alan Permane is reportedly being considered for a role with the Faenza outfit, which will undergo a rebrand and name change before the 2024 season. This would be a significant boost for AlphaTauri, as they will have closer technical ties with Red Bull. Permane has an impressive 34-year career, most recently serving as sporting director at Alpine before being let go in a major management shake-up.
