Oliver Oakes has resigned from his role as F1 team principal in a shock move.

Oakes has been in the rol🌳e for less than a year, taking over from Bruno Famin.

The former Hitech GP boss played a key role in Alpine’sꦗ res🤡urgence at the end of last year as they recovered to sixth in the constructors’ championship.

His resignation comes as a complete surprise.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Alpine are expected to make aꦕ driver change ahead of the next round at Imola.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan is set to make way for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto.

Colapinto has been part of the Alpine driver pool since the start of the year and is a favouriteﷺ of Flavi🍰o Briatore.

Briatore is Alpine’s executive advisor and has worked alongside Oakes꧂.

Oakes has publicly backed Doohan over recꩵent weeks, but it looks like the Australian is about to lose his seat.

The reasons behind Oakes’ sudden departure are still unclear but one 🐬theory put forward is that there could have been a di꧒sagreement over whether Doohan is replaced after just six races in 2025.

Briatore will cover Oakes’ duties follow꧟ing his exit ahead of Imola next weekend.

Th🦄e team released the following statement on Tuesday evening: “BWT Alpine Formula One Team announces that Oliver Oakes has resigned from his role as Team Principal.

𓆏“The team has accepted his resignation with immediate effect.
