Alpine Formula 1 Team Plunged into Chaos: Briatore’s Controversial Decisions Spark Resignation and Driver Swap

In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Alpine’s Formula 1 team is facing a whirlwind of chaos following the abrupt resignation of team principal Oliver Oakes. The resignation, announced on Tuesday evening, comes amidst a storm of controversy sparked by executive advisor Flavio Briatore’s contentious driver decisions.

The bombshell development involves the replacement of Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto, a move that has sent shockwaves through the racing world. Briatore reportedly informed Doohan of his replacement in Miami on Sunday, blindsiding many as Doohan was initially expected to stay on until the summer. Oakes’s sudden departure seems to be a direct response to Briatore’s questionable driver dealings, which have long been a source of tension within the team.

Briatore’s involvement in the driver saga dates back to last year when he courted Colapinto, despite Doohan already being signed to partner Pierre Gasly. The decision to bring in Colapinto as a test and reserve driver, with potential plans to replace Doohan, further fueled the internal strife at Alpine. Oakes, who bore the brunt of public scrutiny for decisions he did not agree with, found himself in a challenging position due to Briatore’s controversial directives.

The clash between Briatore and Oakes over driver choices, particularly regarding Doohan and Colapinto, underscored deeper rifts within the team. Oakes, a staunch supporter of Doohan, believed that the Colapinto saga undid progress made at Alpine, which has been plagued by turmoil in recent years. Despite Oakes’s efforts to stabilize the team since his arrival, Briatore’s influence and decision-making have created a turbulent environment.

As Colapinto prepares to take the reins from Doohan, with the latter staying on as a reserve driver, Briatore’s sway over Alpine appears to be solidified. With Oakes out of the picture, Briatore is poised to assume greater responsibilities, ushering in a new era for the team. While Briatore’s past successes in Formula 1 are undeniable, his methods and approach harken back to a different era of the sport.

The saga unfolding at Alpine reflects a team in transition, grappling with internal power struggles and external pressures. As the dust settles on Oakes’s resignation and the impending driver swap, Alpine faces a critical juncture that could shape its future in Formula 1.
