Hadrien David returns to the fold Alpine

Almost a month after revealing the official drivers of its academy for the 2022 campaign with Jack Doohan, Oli Caldwell, Victor Martins and Caio Collet, Alpine has this time rounded off its workforce with the creation of an “Affiliate” program.

The plan ofAlpine is to offer “ its members with professional support at a crucial stage of their journey, notably through advice for their future, training, tutoring, media training and much more. Affiliated drivers Alpine will also have the opportunity to use the team's world-class facilities at the Academy's headquarters in enstone ».

Among these affiliates, the name of Hadrien David stands out. Member of the academy Renault until the end of the 2020 season, the Tricolore returns to the fold of the Dieppe firm by integrating, or rather reintegrating, theAlpine Academy after its 2^e place in FRECA last year with R-ace GP, a team with which he should normally return in 2022, still in the same championship.
