A Toto Wolff decision could come back to haunt him if Flavio Briatore gets hisಌ wi༺sh.

Alpine have signed up Paul Aron to be the🔯ir test and reserve driver from 2025.

Aron is a former 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Mercedes junior who ꧂was let go from the programme a year ago.

Toto Wolff to regret Mercedes decision?

Aron was a driver in Mercedes’ junior ranks from 2019 to 20⛦♍23.

But his Formula 1 hopes have been reinvigorated by getting ཧa shot at Alpine, where F1 veteran Br𒊎iatore is the big boss.

Aron will reunite with new team princi🌳pal Oliver Oakes, the former Hitech GP boss.

Briatore, Executive Advisor at Alpine, said: “We are very ple꧒ased to have Paul join BWT Alpine Formula One Team as our 2025 Reserve Driver.

“Thཧere is a generational shift inℱ Formula 1 at the moment, as we see with many young drivers coming into the sport and making an impact.

“We believe Paul is one of the best talents and we look forward to developing him into an 🍎F1 driver.”

Aron sai♔d: “It’s incredibly special to be joining BWT Alpine Formula One Team.

“It is clear that this is a great place 🧜to be for any young driver and I’m really pleased that Flavio and Oliver [Oakes] have given me this opportunity.

“Before 2025 and the hard work that will come with being the team’s Reserve Driver, I have a Championship to focus on for the remainder of this year and I will be giving it my all to compete for the title. I’m looking forward to really beginning 𝓀the work and continuing my career pathway in motorsport.”

Kimi Antonelli among 2025 F1 rookies

Aron’s new deal is a reminder of the emphasis placed on young driver ✃talent at the moment.

He is succeeding Jack Doohan, who has earned a cal�♛�l-up to race in F1 with Alpine in 2025.

The 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:F1 2025 driver line-up will also include other newcomers.

Kimi Antonelli ꦬwill replace Lewis Hamilton at ꧅Mercedes, a talent so prodigious that Wolff placed his faith in him.

Oliver Beaꦛrman will drive for Haas, and Gabriel 🔥Bortoleto has got a deal with Sauber.

A💙ron remains several steps away from an F1 d෴rive but his new Alpine deal is proof that exiting the ranks of a front-running team is not the end of a driver’s dream.
