Departing Otmar Szafnauer needed more time as he takes parting shot at Alpine F1 team

Szafnauer headlined a 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:dramatic exodus of Alpine’s F🐈1 man🧸agement that sent shockwaves around the paddock during the Belgian Grand Pri♔x weekend.&nꦡbsp;
Along with Szafnauer, long-serving sporting director Alan Permane has also left, while it was confirmed that chief technical of♊ficer Pat Fry has been hired by📖 Williams to become their new technical director.
Alpine vice president and interim team boss Bruno Famin explained that the changes, which he described as being a “mutual” split, were down to Szafnauer and Permane 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:not being “on the same line” as the team’s hierarchy.

Speaking prior to his official departure on Monday, Szafnauer appeared to take a swipe at Alpine by inferring that th🌱e team has unrealistic expectations while making a rather bizarre analogy.
“The reality is that changes take time,” he told Sky༒ Deutschland. “I signed some good people from other teams, but they are stil൲l stuck in their contracts and won’t come until 2024 or 2025.
“You can’t really push development if people aren’t there. It takes time for people to come and it tꦯakes time for people to work together correctly.
“I always 🍬say, you can’t get nine women pre🦄gnant and hope you have a baby in a month.”
Szafnauer confirmed that he won’t retu𝓰rn to the F1 paddock for at least a year due to a lengthy period of gardꦑening leave.
“The bad news is th🃏at it will be a year before we can do it again,” he added.
After double retirements at both Silverstone and the Hungaroring, Alpine returned to the points at Spa, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly claiming third in the sprint race, while168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Esteban Ocon impressively rose from 14th to salvage eighth 💞in Sunday’s main grand prix.
