Alpine have announced that they will part ways with Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer by mutual agreement following the 2023 Belgian Grand Prix.

Didn’t expect to see this until the end of the season!

    What is happening with alpine? Dare I say it, do they make all these changes to actually get to the top again?

    It is this just some internal political fight?

    This is also very out of the blue, or did I miss something?

      I didn’t think Otmar would last until next season, especially after losing Piastri and what looks like a slapping around by McLaren.

      Didn’t expect it to happen midway through the season.

        Yeah, your right… it’s just a shame how they handled the whole Piastri situation, really unprofessional.

        This midway drop feels certainly quite rushed, as if they wanted to clean house ASAP… maybe they already have someone in mind
