The situation is moving rapidly, with one name in the frame as the replacement for Bruno Famin.
Alpine is likely to name Oliver Oakes as its new team principal before the Dutch Grand Prix. Oakes, known for leading Hitech GP, is seen as the perfect replacement for departing Alpine boss Bruno Famin, providing a fresh perspective at just 36 years old. Famin will oversee all motorsport activities at the Renault Group headquarters by the end of August. Talks between Alpine and Oakes are ongoing, with speculation that his appointment could be announced during the Belgian GP weekend or shortly after. Alpine’s decision to choose Oakes aligns with his successful journey in motorsport, starting from karting to forming Hitech GP. Oakes’ high level of control within Hitech Grand Prix Holdings Ltd positions him well for the role of Alpine team principal and potential future changes within the team.
