Sporting director Alan Permane is also leaving after 34 years at Enstone
Pat Fry is also leaving Alpine. He’s joining Williams next year.
Alpine won’t have any senior management left if they keep this up… Imagine being Ocon or Gasly. They have to feel like they are sitting in a building that’s collapsing on top of them…
And Piastri feeling like he dodged a bullet.
And Alonso as well…
Who could have seen this coming?
I can’t say it’s a surprise, but I excepted Otmar to last until the end of the season
I assume the new CEO joined and immediately did all the things he had been wanting to do for ages.
100%
Very much feels like a cleaning house operation. And Rossi had made some questionable decisions. It’ll be interesting if they go a drastically different direction on anything
I really hope this means that they are more serious about F1. But only time will tell.
It’s Renault, I expect that the board will expect magical results from the new CEO with exactly 0 extra in the budget. We’ll have to wait and see. Public opinion when they hired Otmar was that it was a good move for the team too.
And here we thought Ferrari was the biggest shitshow on the grid. In comes Alpine, demonstrating clearly that the only thing they are winning, is the contest for biggest clown fiesta in F1.
Otmar I can understand, but why Alan Permane as well?

Completely… this is not exactly how you attract new personnel…
It is quite bizarre
Ouch
Can’t tell if this is good or bad for Andretti.
I always found his slightly dour nature quite endearing but I have to say he was not very inspiring in his recent Beyond the Grid interview when asked to explain Alpine’s present and future ambitions.
This only can mean one thing… A new 100 races plan!
