Flavio Briatore is back in full control of the Enstone-based team. Can he deliver on a promise made?
Flavio Briatore is confident in his ability to lead Alpine to F1 titles, dismissing the team’s rivals as “nothing special.”
Having returned to the Enstone organization for the third time last year, Briatore was approached by Renault CEO Luca di Meo.
During his time at Benetton, Briatore guided Michael Schumacher to two drivers’ titles and a constructors’ championship.
In the 2005 and 2006 seasons, as Renault, Briatore helped Fernando Alonso and the team secure consecutive drivers’ and constructors’ championships.
Following recent changes at Alpine, with the departure of team principal Oliver Oakes, Briatore is now fully in charge and determined to deliver on his promise to bring the team to the podium in the next few years.
Despite the challenges faced by the team in the past, Briatore remains optimistic about Alpine’s potential for future success in Formula 1, believing they can compete for championships with the right focus and commitment.
