Flavio Briatore takes on Alpine F1 team lead duties as Colapino replaces Doohan

Oliver Oakes and Flavio Briatore have both taken on new roles at Alpine F1 Team, with Oakes resigning after just nine months in the job and Briatore assuming a de facto team principal role following his 2008 ban for the Crashgate scandal. The team is set to replace Jack Doohan with French driver Franco Colapinto, who has expressed his eagerness to gel with former team principal Andy Martin, despite past struggles. Despite recent setbacks, Alpine continues to navigate significant changes in its management and performance, currently sitting ninth in the F1 standings after a challenging 2024 season marked by both success and missteps.
