A new “three-pillared” tech leadership structure is being introduced within Alpine, following an awful debut for its 2024 F1 car and major resignations
Alpine recently announced a significant restructuring of its technical leadership following the resignations of technical director Matt Harman and head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer. The news of their resignations became public during the team’s challenging Bahrain Grand Prix weekend, where they struggled with performance. The internal announcement of the restructuring was made at Enstone, with Harman and De Beer addressing their colleagues. The new structure includes three technical directors specializing in different areas for improved collaboration and performance delivery. The resignations of Harman and De Beer were voluntary and not a result of external pressure. These changes aim to address the team’s performance issues and move towards a more successful future in Formula 1.
