Oliver Oakes has resigned from his role as F1 team principal in a shock move.

Oakes has been in the role for less than a year, 🎃taking over from Br🍸uno Famin.

The former Hitech GP boss played a key role in Alpine’s resurgence a💎t the end of last year as they recovered to sixth in the constr꧅uctors’ championship.

His resignation comes as a complete surprise.

168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Jack Doohan is set to make way for 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:Franco Colapinto.

Colapinto has been part of 𝄹the Alpine driver pool since the start of thꦇe year and is a favourite of Flavio Briatore.

Briatore is Alpine♉’s executive advisor and has worked alongside Oakes.

Oakes has publicly backed Doohan over ♓recent weeks, but it looks like the Australian is about to lose his seat.

The reasons behind Oakes’ sudden depart🌌ure are still unclear but one theory put forward is that there could have been a disagreement over whether Doohan is replaced after just six races i🎶n 2025.

B♛riatore will cover Oakes’ duties following his exit ahead o𓆏f Imola next weekend.

The team released the following statement on Tuesday evening: “BWT Alpin꧑e Formula One Team announces that Oliver Oakes ✨has resigned from his role as Team Principal.

“The tౠeam has accepted his resignation with immediate effect.

“As of today, Flavio Briatore will continue as Executive Advisor and will also be covering the duties pre💞viously performed by Oliver Oakes.

“The team would like to thank Oliver for his efforts since he joined last summer and for his contribution in helping the team secure sixth place in thꦫe 2024 Constructors’ Championship.

“The team will not be making any further comment.𒐪”
