The manager from Brianza is about to divorce from the French team after a complicated settlement even from his residence in the United Arab Emirates. Work is underway on severance pay from his triennial: his return to MotoGP is on the horizon, where in 2020 he won the title with Mir
The last race of the season and also the farewell one. The brief marriage between Davide Brivio and the Alpine is in danger of ending. Valentino Rossi’s former team manager made the leap into motoring at the beginning of the season, after winning the MotoGP World Championship with Suzuki, hired by the new French team (formerly Renault) where he was strongly supported by president Luca De Meo. But the challenge turned out to be more complicated than expected, despite the team having won the daring GP of Hungary with Esteban Ocon, third place with the returning Fernando Alonso in Qatar and occupying fifth place among the Constructors, so Brivio would be on the point to reverse back to the two wheels.

The experience of the manager from Brianza was troubled. In addition to having to take on the role of “racing director”, leading a much larger group of people than he was used to, he had to deal with a difficult setting. In fact, Brivio remained to live in the United Arab Emirates, where he resides, disconnected from the operational reality of the Enstone headquarters, in Great Britain, the strategic heart of the team.

Furthermore, at the Alpine there are too many figures at the top: the CEO Laurent Rossi, the team principal Marcin Budkowski, the sports director Alain Permane and last but not least Alain Prost in the role of super consultant. A shared leadership that in the end must have been “overwhelming” for Brivio. The contract that binds Brivio to Alpine has a duration of three years, so it will be necessary to find an agreement on the severance pay if it comes to divorce, as seems likely. His destination could be Suzuki again, where it seems that at this moment there is a tug-of-war between the top Japanese leaders, between those who would be in favor of a return, and those who are against it.
