Didn’t expect to see this until the end of the season!

    I feel like Mattia Binotto might be a good option for them. I doubt they will get Cyril back. So what other option would be available for 2024 without getting someone outside of F1? And that seems not what Alpine and Renault need.

      I can see both sides of the argument. Someone outside of F1 could bring in some decent success, but also may struggle with the politics of F1. The F1 TP pool is small, and nobody outside of Mattia seems to be available.

    What is happening with alpine? Dare I say it, do they make all these changes to actually get to the top again?

    It is this just some internal political fight?

    This is also very out of the blue, or did I miss something?

      I didn’t think Otmar would last until next season, especially after losing Piastri and what looks like a slapping around by McLaren.

      Didn’t expect it to happen midway through the season.

        Yeah, your right… it’s just a shame how they handled the whole Piastri situation, really unprofessional.

        This midway drop feels certainly quite rushed, as if they wanted to clean house ASAP… maybe they already have someone in mind
