Szafnauer headlined a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:d♔ramatic exodus of Alpine’s F1 management that sent shockwaves arou💖nd the paddock during the 𝄹Belgian Grand Prix weekend. 

Along with Szafnauer, long-serving sporting director Alan Permane has also left, while it was confirmed that chief technical officer Pat Fry has been hired by Williams 💯to become their new technical director. 

Alpine vice president and interim team boss Bruno Famin explained that the changes, which he described as being a “mutual” split, were down to Szafnauer and Permane 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:not being “on the same line” as the team’s hierarchy. 

Speaking prior to his official departure on Monday, Szafnauer appea༒red to take a swipe at Alpine by inferring that the team has unrealistic expectations while ma꧙king a rather bizarre analogy. 

“The reality is thꦡat changes take time,” he told Sky Deutschland. “I signed some good people from other teams, but they are still stuck in their contracts and won’t come until 2024 𒈔or 2025.

“You can’t really push development if people aren’t💞 there. It takes time for people t๊o come and it takes time for people to work together correctly.

“I always say, you can’t get nine women pregnant an♚d hope you have a baby in a month.”

Szafnauer confirmed that he won’t return 🎃to the F1 paddock for at least a year due to a lengthy period of gardening leave. 

“The bad news is that it will be a year before we can do it again,” he added.&nꦡbsp;
