Alpine announced Tuesday that Oliver Oakes resigned from his position as team principal, which was accepted by the team with immediate effect. Flavio Briatore, the team’s executive advisor, will assume Oakes’ responsibilities while continuing his advisory duties.
“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 the 2024 Constructors’ Championship,” Alpine’s statement said, in part. “The team will not be making any further comment.”

Following the Miami Grand Prix last weekend, Oakes didn’t do his post-race media duties — at the time, the official reasoning given was “due to a change in travel plans.”
Oakes was named Alpine’s team principal last July after Bruno Famin left the role, the Frenchman wanting to focus on his VP of motorsports duties. Oakes, 37, is a former racing driver and founded Hitech Grand Prix in 2015, a program with established teams across numerous junior categories like F1 Academy, Formula Three and Formula Two.
Oakes was Alpine’s fourth team boss in less than four years, his predecessors being Famin, Otmar Szafnauer and Cyril Abiteboul. His appointment in 2024 made him F1’s youngest team principal.
His resignation comes at a time when rumors are swirling about the future of Jack Doohan’s seat and whether Franco Colapinto will replace the Australian driver at Imola, the start of a European tripleheader. Alpine’s also had a difficult run this season and sits ninth in the team standings with seven points, just one more than 10th-place Sauber.
Alpine lacked speed in Miami, and Pierre Gasly said after the race, per formula1.com, “We were on the back foot throughout the whole weekend, so I want to believe and probably hope that it’s more related to this track and the tarmac and the conditions we faced, but honestly at the minute we just need more time to get some answers.”
After six races, Alpine sits ninth in the constructors’ standings with seven points.
This is a developing story. More to come.

Froome shows for the first time the scars of his serious accident that almost cost him his life
Chris Froome, one of cycling's living legends, has shared with his followers the shocking aftermath of his latest accident, the most serious of his career. It happened in August, while he was training in France, when a bad gesture on the road led him to lose control, crash into a traffic sign and end up being evacuated by helicopter to the military hospital in Toulon. The estimated speed at the time of impact: about 50 kilometers per hour.Angel Reese becomes first pro athlete to walk Victoria's Secret runwayThe consequences were devastating: four broken ribs, a fractured vertebra, a collapsed lung and, most seriously, a ruptured pericardium, the membrane that surrounds the heart. A diagnosis that would have challenged even those who have never ridden a bicycle. But Froome, who turned 40 this year, has once again demonstrated his indomitable spirit.On […]

Fantasy Football: Understanding positional scarcity and volatility in dynasty leagues
Don't lean on the unstable running back position: Players like Jacory Croskey-Merritt are great for contending teams, but a rebuilding dynasty squad will want to consider that he could be sharing a backfield, buried on a depth chart or out of the league entirely in a few years. Always take shots at quarterback: Particularly in superflex leagues, you shouldn't be leaving a fantasy draft without taking a chance on at least one quarterback. But still be wary of signal-callers drafted outside of the first round. Estimated Reading Time: 9 minutes Not all positions are created equal — especially for fantasy football. Understanding volatility and scarcity is the difference between trading away tomorrow’s crown jewel and flipping fool’s gold. Running backs are the most volatile assets in fantasy, especially in dynasty leagues, where you’re trying to account for production several years […]
Assunção, no Paraguai, é escolhida como sede dos Jogos Pan-Americanos de 2031
A cidade de Assunção, no Paraguai, foi escolhida, nesta sexta-feira, como sede dos Jogos Pan-Americanos e Parapan-Americanos de 2031. A vencedora foi anunciada durante a Assembleia da Panam Sports, principal entidade do esporte olímpico das Américas, em Santiago, Chile, e derrotou a candidatura conjunta Rio-Niterói. Até a semana passada, a candidatura de Assunção era considerada a grande favorita, mas Rio-Niterói entrou forte na disputa. As cidades brasileiras apostavam no legado dos Jogos Olímpicos de 2016, competição que ganhou terreno após o Pan do Rio, em 2007, para receberem os Jogos Pan-Americanos de 2031. Apesar disso, Assunção foi escolhida como sede após votação na Assembleia Geral da Panam Sports. Esta será a primeira vez que o Paraguai receberá os Jogos Pan-Americanos. Vale lembrar que a cidade foi derrotada para Lima (Peru), em 2024, na eleição para a sede dos Jogos de […]
