Flavio Briatore: "My job is to put Alpine at the top of the poster »

The notorious team manager, who has guided the majority of the Enstone team's successes over the last thirty years, made his return last summer at the helm ofAlpine F1, commissioned by Renault CEO and friend Luca de Meo. The 74-year-old Italian has lost none of his cheekiness and offensive drive.

Flavio Briatore: "My job is to put Alpine at the top of the poster »

It's been about six months since you returned to F1, and more particularly at Alpine. How are you ?

Very good. And even better in recent weeks. I see that there is the possibility to change the team in depth, to be more and more competitive. There is a new approach to F1 at Alpine. It's impressive to see how much the results change perception, both internally and with the outside world. When I arrived, we only had 2 points. And little by little, we worked and improved the car, taking a significant step forward. We made sure to take the team back in hand. Before, everyone was a bit scattered, it wasn't really a team. Today, it's much better. We may have to hire a bit, especially experienced people, but really in a very marginal way.

Can you give us details on this new

Apart from destroying Viry Châtillon and the technology park of subcontractors around it, he will do nothing. The government has not lifted a finger. However, when Renault was bankrupt, it was not Briatore who straightened it out!!

How can such a braggart be brought back into the F1 circuit? Coming from a not very appetizing background...... Sad times!

Flavio, if you want to take it Alpine at the highest... Colapinto is the pilot indicated, because it is fast and talented...

Ah the King of Cheaters, "Il Magnifico Flavio", it was enough for him to arrive for Enstone to finally know how to work!! But the predecessors of Briatore and Oakes were really super incompetent idiots who did not think about competitiveness ... still as "priceless" the King of Cheaters and boss ofAlpine F1! However, if the dynamics of the end of the 2024 season continue from the beginning of 2025, the value ofAlpine F1 will obviously climb and the King of Cheaters will then be in a perfect position to achieve the only objective assigned by Luca De Méo: to sell Alpine F1 before bowing out of F1!
