When Flavio Briatore<\/a> joined Alpine last year, it was clear he would be central in determining the team’s direction.<\/p>\n

Renault CEO Luca de Meo entrusted Briatore with addressing the team’s limitations and transforming them into a front-running team.<\/p>\n

Aside from the team’s double-podium in Brazil, it cannot be said Alpine have been especially competitive over the last twelve months.<\/p>\n

This year in particular has been difficult for the Enstone team, who are currently second to last in the F1 standings.<\/p>\n

Irrespective of the team’s current fortunes, Flavio Briatore continues to set aggressive targets.<\/p>\n

Briatore sets medium-term expectations for Alpine<\/h2>\n

Since Renault rebranded to become Alpine in 2021, there have been relatively frequent changes in the team’s senior management.<\/p>\n

Team principals (Abiteboul, Budkowski, Szafnauer, Rossi, Oakes) have entered and left the doors of Enstone more than any other F1 team.<\/p>\n

For obvious reasons, this instability has been attributed to the team’s failure to become front-runners.<\/p>\n

To some degree, there is merit to this perspective.<\/p>\n

The French outfit’s leaders are historically replaced before they can implement any of their desired changes.<\/p>\n
