The Alpine F1 team have announced a technical restructuring in response to the exits of two key figures following a hಞorrific start ❀to the new season.

Over the Bahrain Grand Prix weekend it e🐼merged that technical director Matt Harꦯman and head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer had both decided to quit their jobs.

Alpine suffered a dreadful start to the new campaign as168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Esteban Ocon and168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史: Pierre Gasly qualified at the back of the grid for Saturdaওy’s seಞason opener, before going on to finish a lowly 17th and 18th in the race.

On🧜 Monday, the French outfit confirmed Harman and de Beer’s resignations as they announced a new structure similar to the three-pillared approach used by McLaren.

Alpine have created three specialised technical roles, with Joe Burnell taking over as technical director (engineering), David Wheater becoming technical director (aerodynamics) and Ciaron Pilbeam taki🃏ng up the position of technical director (perfo꧟rmance).

All three will report direജctly to team principal Bruno Famin.

“We have decided to make these organisational changes as we can clearly see that we are not where we want nor need to be in terms of performance level and it is time to take another step in terms of organisatioဣn and people,” Famin explained.

“The new three-pillared structure with three Technical Directors, each specialising in different areas, will bring better work and collaboration across our technical areas and contriไbute to delivering performance from the factories to the race track.

“I trust fully in the abilities of Joe, David and Ciaron to work closely togetꦡher in bringing the team the performance and improvements that it needs.

“Finally, I would like to tha🎶nk Matt and Dirk for their efforts over the last couple of years at the team and wish them th🍬e very best in the next chapter of their careers.”

Alpine, who finished a distant sixth in 2023, find🔴 themselves at the bottom of the constructors’ championship after a woeful opening😼 round.
