The Alpine omnishambles and what it means for its F1 future

For the second successive season Alpine heads into Formula 1's summer break reeling from a bombshell announcement. This time it's as a result of a slightly earlier, in-house decision to part ways with team principal Otmar Szafnauer and long-time sporting director Alan Permane on the same weekend it lost veteran F1 engineer Pat Fry to Williams. Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill join Edd Straw to dissect Alpine's choices including what it says about the Alpine 'project' in F1 and where the team goes from here. There's also a discussion about what Fry's signing means for Williams as well as the panel's thoughts on four-time F1 champion Alain Prost's "distressed" reaction to the team's strife.  Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and Facebook Check out our latest videos on YouTube Download our app on iOS or Android Click here to join The Race Members' Club and have the opportunity to ask a question on the show Go to grammarly.com/go to download and learn more about GrammarlyGO Learn more about your ad choices.
