Oliver Oakes has resigned from his role as F1 team principal in a shock move.

Oakes has been in the role for less t🐷han a year, taking over from Bꩵruno Famin.

The formeꦦr Hitech GP boss played a key role in Alpin෴e’s resurgence at the end of last year as they recovered to sixth in the constructors’ championship.

His resignation comes as a complete surprise.

168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Jack Doohan is set to make way for 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Franco Colapinto.

Colapinto has been part of the Alpine driver pool sinc⛄e the start of the year and is a favourite of Flavio Briatore.

Briatore is Alpine’s executive 𓄧advisor and has worked alongside Oakes.

Oakes has publicly backed Doohan over recent weeks, but it lo⛎oks like the Australian is about to lose his seat.

The reasons behind Oakes’ sudden 🔥departure are still unclear but one theory put forward is that there could have been a disagreement over whether Doohan is replaced after just six races in 2025.

Briatore wi𒁏ll cover Oakes’ dut𝔍ies following his exit ahead of Imola next weekend.

The team released the following statement ꦦon Tuesday evening: “BWT Alpine Formula One Team announces that Oliver Oakes has resigned from his role as Team Principal.

“T🅷he team would like to thank Oliver for his efforts since he joined last summer and for his contribution in helping the team secure sixth place in the 2024 Con🙈structors’ Championship.

“The team will not be making an🐓y further comment.”
