Alpine Boss Receives Brutal Put-Down After S…read more
In a dramatic shake-up within the Formula 1 paddock, Alpine F1 Team principal Bruno Famin has reportedly received a scathing rebuke from within the organization following his abrupt exit, sources close to the team confirmed on Thursday.
Famin, who took over the reins last season amid high hopes of revitalizing Alpine’s fortunes, stunned the paddock with his sudden departure just weeks into the 2025 season. While the official statement cited “strategic differences,” insiders suggest the departure was far from amicable. One senior figure within the Renault-owned team, speaking on condition of anonymity, described Famin’s leadership as “directionless and divisive,” delivering a brutal assessment of his short tenure.
“Bruno came in with big promises, but the results were nowhere near what was expected. He lost the trust of key personnel,” the source said. “Morale was low, and there was no coherent vision.”
The comments reflect growing frustration within Alpine as the team continues to struggle for competitiveness in the tightly packed midfield. Despite significant investment and a renewed factory push in Enstone and Viry-Châtillon, Alpine failed to deliver consistent results under Famin’s watch. Their best result this season so far has been a disappointing P10 finish, a far cry from their target of fighting at the front.
The team is now left scrambling for leadership stability ahead of the upcoming Monaco Grand Prix. Interim management has been put in place, though no long-term replacement has been confirmed.
Famin’s exit is the latest in a series of high-profile changes at Alpine, including the departure of key technical staff and drivers in recent seasons. As the team looks to reset once again, fans and analysts alike are questioning how many more shake-ups the squad can endure before it risks losing its place among the F1 elite.
