Overview

• Oliver Oakes resigned in early May for personal reasons after his brother was charged with transferring criminal property, prompting Flavio Briatore to assume de facto control of Alpine’s race operations.
• Briatore is overseeing the team without holding the official title, with racing director Dave Greenwood serving as Alpine’s nominated FIA representative for administrative purposes.
• Alpine is actively searching for a full-time team principal but Briatore has stressed that the appointment will not be rushed and that a candidate will be announced once the right fit is found.
• Franco Colapinto has retained his race seat alongside Pierre Gasly but will need to improve on his Imola and Monaco showings to secure his place beyond the Spanish Grand Prix due purely to performance considerations.
• Alpine views 2025 as a preparatory season and plans to integrate Mercedes power units in 2026, with further driver and technical experiments expected ahead of the transition.
