Alpine announce immediate F1 team principal EXIT as official statement released

Alpine Formula 1 team have announced the immediate exit of team principal Oliver Oakes following the Miami Grand Prix.

The 37-year-old replaced Bruno Famin in the role midseason at Alpine last summer, becoming the second youngest team principal in the history of the sport, with Red Bull boss Christian Horner taking the top spot when he joined F1 in 2005.

After just 10 months, Oakes has now resigned as Alpine’s F1 boss, with an official team release confirming the shock exit.

The news comes as rumours over another change in Alpine’s F1 outfit continue to grow with reports swirling that the Enstone-based team are considering replacing Jack Doohan with reserve driver Franco Colap
