F1 team reveal new team principal on permanent deal

Team finds permanent boss after lengthy search for replacement

By Shay Rogers.

Alpine have confirmed that interim boss Bruno Famin has been given the team principal job on a permanent basis coming into the new season.

The team's decision to relieve Otmar Szafnauer of his duties as boss last July left a leadership void, and they drafted Famin in to fill the gap.

Alpine finished a lonely sixth place in the constructors’ standings in 2023, taking just one podium at the Dutch Grand Prix from Pierre Gasly.

The team showed promising progress towards the end of the season but are aware that they need to show more if they are to remain in the sport long-term.
