Alpine Formula 1 team clarified that Flavio Briatore is “fully in charge of the team” despite not officially being its team representative after Oliver Oakes’ exit. Briatore, rejoining the Enstone team last summer on a consultancy basis, leads in the absence of an official role registration. Alpine has assigned Racing Director Dave Greenwood as the team representative for administrative purposes with stakeholders. Although Greenwood is the reference point for F1 stakeholders, Briatore holds ultimate authority, makes key decisions, and acts as de facto team principal. While Greenwood handles day-to-day tasks, Briatore oversees operations and remains the public-facing figure at race weekends. Despite the recent upheaval, Alpine seeks to maintain stability and focus on their internal progress and achievements amidst changing leadership dynamics.
