About this episode
lpine F1 is giving "mid-season drama" a whole new meaning. The long-whispered rumor finally came true: Jack Doohan is out, and Franco Colapinto is in. But just when fans thought that was the big news—boom—Team Principal Oliver Oakes vanishes like Lance Stroll in Q1.
His departure caught everyone off guard and has people wondering if Flavio Briatore (the italian Bond villain and mastermind behind Crash Gate) had something to do with it. Was it a power struggle? Creative differences? Or did Oakes just realize managing Alpine is like herding cats at 200 mph? We unpack all the chaos, speculate wildly (but responsibly), and ask the big question: What the hell is going on at Alpine?
