Flavio Briatore, an executive advisor to Alpine, believes the team should aim for victories in 2026 and to be title contenders in 2027 without making excuses, following a challenging start in 2025.
Despite taking on more responsibilities after Oliver Oakes left his role as team principal, Briatore is confident in Alpine’s potential with the upcoming rule changes.
Alpine’s decision to switch to Mercedes power next year has been described as crucial by Briatore, who emphasizes the importance of having the same tools as other teams to succeed in Formula 1.
His experience in leading Enstone-based teams to constructors’ titles fuels his optimism for Alpine’s future success, despite his controversial past and previous ban from the sport.
Briatore is determined to lead Alpine to competitiveness, leveraging his strong team across technical, commercial, and management departments as they look towards a brighter future in Formula 1.
