  • Keep in mind he's mainly VP of Alpine Motorsports, and he's now switched his focus on reorganising the Viry plant (if they do sign with an engine manufacturer for 2026, not a done deal yet), hence why he's vacating the position.

    The people that were let go were essentially deadwood (feel free to look them up), and a ton of key people were poached from Mercedes/RB/Ferrari. Otmar was simply the wrong hire, frankly there's a reason Lawrence Stroll didn't keep him.

    Not sure why they're going for Oliver Oakes though, Jonathan Wheatley would've been a better fit imo, but we'll see.

  • Despite the jokes they seriously won't. Their 2016 investment keeps ballooning past $1 billion in value, and most of their marketing rests on F1, because exposure > sporting results.

  • Fernando was told to let Lance by to chase down Tsunoda, Lance was told to give the place back after failing to do so, and he didn't. Tbf though it was more of strategic blunder by the team.

  • Cracks showing up on all fronts, Verstappen/GP-Red Bull, Norris/Piastri-Mclaren, Stroll/Alonso, this is great for neutrals

  • Yeah you can't really follow and understand F1 properly if you just do it in a vaccuum, there's on-track strats, off-track politics, factory personnel changes, learning the history, F1 feeder ladder, even how a team's F1 program fits into a company's strategy, etc etc.

  • They can rebadge the engines, it's not that big of deal for marketing hence why they're even considering it

  • Assuming it's not an alias lol

  • Front of the midfield yes, it's inevitable with the quality people they've hired and the management changes they've made, and fingers crossed if they remain a works team. Fighting with the top teams probably not, as always.

  • Expecting a cringe story but the visuals should be great at least. Kind of surreal to see Brad Pitt in there with Kosinski directing, this is peak Liberty Media era F1.

  • Should've called it Formula One/1 at the very least, would've been more nuanced. But then they couldn't plaster the F1 logo front and center and get people to look it up, which I guess was the point of this ad effort.

    Anthony Davison's analysis of Verstappen/Norris fights - moving under braking + crash

  • He wasn't penalised for moving under braking in previous laps

  • Crashstappen is back, let's go

  • One extreme doesn't justify another, plus what matters here is the information. Couldn't care less about who runs or frequents the group, but I'm glad it brought awareness to SBI and their influence.

  • We're all MS personnel

  • It was an anonymous DMCA takedown with spelling mistakes, they're just being extra careful. Plus Suyu isn't going anywhere, it's run by junior devs with 0 experience. Sudachi is run by one guy and he's made more tangible progress, just for reference.

  • FYI they backtracked on that, now requiring PWAs to run on webkit

  • Translation correction on this paragraph:

    "One thing is certain: The Red Bull Group is facing an acid test that goes far beyond the Formula 1 sub-business. Ford, Red Bull's future technical partner in Formula 1 and an important ally in the US market against competitor Coca Cola, is currently examining whether the already agreed alliance can still be resolved dissolved. The bosses in Detroit are rumoured to have no interest in playing a role in a docusoap called "Sex in the (Paddock) City".

  • Don't get the derisive tone of the article, this is arguably good news considering how dysfunctional the technical department has been at Enstone. De Beer was absolute deadwood and Matt Harman wasn't suited for the technical director promotion. Maybe Alpine will actually learn and stop hiring second-rate people at the helm.

    Christian Horner's suspension or dismissal is not possible without the consent of the Thai's, as a previous contract granting free reign to Mateschitz was not transferred to the heirs.
