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.
This are my fears as well… but it’s just so bizarre, the whole situation.
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?
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.
I honestly had a worse opinion of him after that Beyond the Grid episode. I appreciated how level headed and logical he was, but he also made a bunch of excuses. When they asked him about the 100 races the first thing he did was move the goalpost. I hate to say it but the dude just isn't cut throat enough to be an F1 TP. I would love to see him in a different series though. I think with the right drivers his level headed approach would work.
This only can mean one thing... A new 100 races plan!
Can't tell if this is good or bad for Andretti.
Ouch
More like Out-Mar.
