In a period in which Franco Colapinto is already assumed, a different event will be announced on Wednesday, a different but related event has happened to the announcement that Alpine’s ‘Team Manager’, Oliver Okes, left the structure with immediate effect.
THE WAR OF PILOTS: DOOHAN VS COLAPINTO
Oliver Oakes has presented his resignation after knowing that Flavio Brost’s wishes was finally imposed, a resignation that has been accepted by the Alpine structure that resorts precisely to Flavio Briatore, to date with the position of executive advisor, to assume the workload of Oakes himself.
With a brief statement thanking Oakes for his contribution since he was incorporated in the late 2024, Alpine finita affirming that he will make more comments.
The disagreements between Briatore and Oakes that have led to this ad is none other than the treatment with the pilots, because it is no secret that Flavio Briatore wanted to put Franco Colapint from the first day when Jack Doohan had already been confirmed, while Oliver Oakes has been the main and practically unique support that the pilot has received during his stay in Alpine.
-Finally, Briatore has convinced who had to convince, which has not been the ‘main team’ of Alpine, and the change of pilots will be done for the next Imola race.
Although the parties have not made comments in this regard, it is easy to deduce that Oliver Oakes will have thought what I do by directing a team in which I do not make the decisions, opting for the increasingly lost art of having honor and leaving instead of staying clinging to the position.
Imminent ad
The announcement of Franco Colapinto, which will be carried out in circuit during this week, is expected for this Wednesday.
