Alpine face major signing dilemma following imminent F1 change
Alpine’s team principal changes are set to continue, with Flavio Briatore temporarily taking over from Oliver Oakes, who resigned last week after a short tenure.
Former F1 driver Karun Chandhok doubts Briatore’s ability to manage the team on a day-to-day basis, suggesting the need for a new leader.
Briatore, a controversial figure at 75 years old, is challenged by his age and busy schedule outside of F1, raising concerns about his long-term suitability.
This leadership shake-up adds to Alpine’s history of frequent changes, as the team prepares to find its eighth team principal.
Amidst the chaos, Alpine also announced a driver change for the upcoming Imola Grand Prix, with Franco Colapinto replacing Jack Doohan.
