  • Does Alpine team owner Renault really understand what it takes to win in F1? Not according to former team boss Otmar Szafnauer.

      Otmar was like "accidents happen" and bruno was like "accidents happen because we are in a midfield, we shoulddo better if we get out of midfield". So he removed otmar and brought alpine out of midfield. The man of his words.

      I don't think they care about the performance. They care about getting at least the same amount of money back in as they put in, cause they escape taxes that way.
      The performance of the Renault team has been 'very french' from before the Abiteboul era. No one expects that team to go forward. If they could, they would've done so by now.

    Otmar getting dumped showed everything we needed to know about Alpine.
    Otmar left Aston Martin to join them but he didn't last 2 season and was never given he powers to sign drivers. Laurent played with him that costed him his respect until we found out that Laurent the whole time was lying because he was the CEO not otmar who was just responsible for factory and team.

He just doesn’t understand what ik takes to build a winning team and it all starts with a stable management, something which has gone horrible. It’s typical French culture: overestimating yourself and always coming up with solutions that only solve half of the problem

    Renault management made a rookie mistake. They received investment last year, and with added pressure, they decided to make a change for the sake of change to show investors they are trying when they should show patience. They replaced their experienced leader with the backstabbing, scheming Famin, who has no idea how to run an F1 team. Now they are paying the price.

    • @unfortunately_fortunate2000
      @unfortunately_fortunate2000 17 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Mercedes was nowhere near as mismanaged as Renault is though, and, in the years leading up to the turbo hybrid regulations Mercedes actually progressed up the field.
      Alpine continues to slide backwards.
      if they actually manage to put a decent car together for 2025 and go into the new regulations with some level of success behind them then yeah, that would be pretty hopeful for the team going forward but based on their current situation that seems incredibly unlikely, especially given how keen the current management staff are whenever there is an opportunity to blame all of their shortcomings on the previous management staff..
