Briatore denies Oakes rift after shock Alpine exit

  • Oliver Oakes resigned immediately as Alpine team principal, which the team confirmed on Tuesday, and Jack Doohan was replaced by Franco Colapinto for at least five races starting at Emilia Romagna Grand Prix.
  • Oakes cited personal reasons for stepping down and denied that his resignation related to the driver line-up, while Briatore denied any rift linked to Oakes' departure despite timing raising speculation.
  • Flavio Briatore, Alpine executive advisor since June 2024, negotiated Colapinto's loan deal from Williams in January and took over Oakes' duties after his resignation.
  • Briatore clarified that recent claims linking Oli's resignation to a supposed disagreement between them were entirely untrue and misrepresent the situation.
  • Alpine confirmed it accepted Oakes' resignation and highlighted the team's commitment to strengthening its standing this year while gearing up for the 2026 season with strong leadership in place.
