Alpine is in the midst of a very important restructuring as regards the organization chart of the Formula 1 team. After the departure of Marcin Budkowski, today Alain Prost left his position as consultant to the French team.
As if that weren’t enough, Motorsport.com sources have suggested that Otmar Szafnauer, former team principal of Force India, Racing Point and now Aston Martin Racing, should be added to the team, while maintaining the same role he has played in his years of work. with the Silverstone team.
Returning to Prost, the 4-time world champion has had an occasional relationship of collaboration with Renault – now Alpine – since he drove for the team (from 1981 to 1983).
Since Renault returned to ownership of the Enstone team in 2015, Prost has taken on a role of consultant and ambassador, until in July 2019 she took on the role of non-executive director.
Prost had an annual contract with the team and the management has chosen not to renew it for the 2022 season. In addition, Alpine is expected to announce in the next few days an agreement with BWT, an Austrian water treatment company, which had already appeared on the bodies. of Aston Martin Racing (when it was called Force India and then Racing Point).
Should this indiscretion be confirmed, BWT would find Szafnauer (with whom it has always had a good relationship) and Esteban Ocon, who a few years ago made his Formula 1 debut with Racing Point, dressed in the colors of BWT.
