My bet is Andreas Seidl will takeover. A week ago I would have bet a return for Binotto for Alpine. Cyril returning would also be funny as hell though.
Not going to lie, watching a team slowly crumble is strangely hypnotic.
I imagine this is how old fans felt watching Lotus collapse.
Another Alpine TP fired at Spa.
I can’t tell if it is for the best. On one hand, he instilled chaos at Alpine by firing people left and right (including Otmar IIRC), on the other I’m not sure changing the team’s head management once again will help reign in the chaos.
Keep in mind he’s mainly VP of Alpine Motorsports, and he’s now switched his focus on reorganising the Viry plant (if they do sign with an engine manufacturer for 2026, not a done deal yet), hence why he’s vacating the position.
The people that were let go were essentially deadwood (feel free to look them up), and a ton of key people were poached from Mercedes/RB/Ferrari. Otmar was simply the wrong hire, frankly there’s a reason Lawrence Stroll didn’t keep him.
Not sure why they’re going for Oliver Oakes though, Jonathan Wheatley would’ve been a better fit imo, but we’ll see.
He’s back at Alpine Motorsports? I thought Luca De Meo took the interim when Famin became Team Principal
Just sell the team already
