Alpine team principal Bruno Famin says he is stepping down from his role by the end of next month. Famin will be in charge at the Belgian Grand Prix on Sunday. The season then goes on a summer break until the Dutch GP on Aug. 25. Famin will remain in charge of all other motorsports of Renault Group at its Viry-Chatillon engine facility.
Alpine driver Esteban Ocon of France steers his car during the first practice session ahead of the Formula One Grand Prix at the Spa-Francorchamps racetrack in Spa, Belgium, Friday, July 26, 2024. The Belgian Formula One Grand Prix will take place on Sunday. SPA-FRANCORCHAMPS, Belgium — Struggling Formula 1 team Alpine is switching team principals midseason and may also ditch its homemade Renault engines in 2026.
“I will step down from the team principal role by the end of August and be fully dedicated to the Viry-Châtillon activities from the 1st of September,” Famin said at the Spa track. That could be a blow to the prestige of a Renault that used to sell engines to other teams, including the Red Bull title winners.
