- Briatore to return 17 years after Crashgate scandal
- Driver Doohan expected to be replaced by Colapinto
The Alpine team principal, Oliver Oakes, has resigned from the team with Flavio Briatore, the Italian who was once given a lifetime ban from Formula One, set to step up to assume team principal duties.
Oakes was appointed only nine months ago and the 37-year-old’s resignation, which a statement from Alpine read they had accepted with “immediate effect”, comes with the team expected to replace their driver Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto before the next round at Imola.
