However, his career was stained for his participation in the “Crashgate” of Singapore in 2008. In that incident, Briatore allegedly insured Nelson Piquet Jr. to collide to win his teammate Alonso. This cost him a expulsion of life, which was finally revoked in 2010.

“After 15 years outside Formula 1, I followed some races watching them on television. One day I called Luca (De Meo). I told him that I was very sad to see the team in these conditions, because it was my team. I created this team. I built the factory and there they won world championships. There was a condition: I wanted to be in command completely“Brosta said in an interview with Motorsport.

Alpine’s Brintore strategy in the coming years

“This season is important because we have to prepare for 2026, when we have to start gaining races. In 26 we have the Mercedes engine and, meanwhile, we need to incorporate more people with experience to our team. If everyone works together, I think that in 2026 it is possible to be winning races and in 2027 fighting for the championship“The Italian signed, who understands that it is a long -term process.

However, there is an obstacle; While Pierre Gasly accumulates more than 100 races in La Máxima, Jack Doohan, Franco Colapinto, Paul Aron and Ryo Hirakawa are young. The Argentine, on the other hand, steps strongly in the contest for the titular seat, although it remains as a reservation. Anyway, BriTore does not rule out changes in the year: “I prefer to do what is better for the team. If you have two pilots, the choice is between two pilots. If you have five, the choice is between five.”

The Briatore movie … with the main actor collapth?
