Flavio Briatoreafter landing just a few months ago Alpine As an executive advisor, he clearly knows what the path should be to make the team “great again.”
Firstly, as he pointed out in an interview with “Gazzetta dello Sport”, the car’s performance needs to be improved: “We already have good and fast drivers, The problem is the car.”
With the departure of Esteban Ocon, tried to incorporate Carlos Sainzbut the refusal of the Madrilenian led him to Jack Doohan. He didn’t give up and He opted for Adrian Neweybut the engineer’s fate was already written.
“I believe and hope that Doohan will be able to give us guarantees in 2025. I tried to hire Carlos Sainz and Adrian Neweybut the negotiations did not go well,” he noted.
Of course, Briatore believes that the roadmap is not about spending money: “I’m not the type to buy drivers, I always like them to grow up at home. I did it with Michael Schumacher (at Benetton) and Fernando Alonso (at Renault)who aren’t exactly two guys.”
“I have always won titles with 30% less budget than my competitors and I have not forgotten the magic formula. I’m ready to make Alpine great again” he settled.
