Not even close, De Meo is CEO of Renault Group. Philippe Krief is CEO of Alpine Cars subsidiary, and Bruno Famin has been VP of Alpine Motorsports since 2023.

Keep in mind he's mainly VP of Alpine Motorsports, and he's now switched his focus on reorganising the Viry plant (if they do sign with an engine manufacturer for 2026, not a done deal yet), hence why he's vacating the position.

The people that were let go were essentially deadwood (feel free to look them up), and a ton of key people were poached from Mercedes/RB/Ferrari. Otmar was simply the wrong hire, frankly there's a reason Lawrence Stroll didn't keep him.

Not sure why they're going for Oliver Oakes though, Jonathan Wheatley would've been a better fit imo, but we'll see.

Despite the jokes they seriously won't. Their 2016 investment keeps ballooning past $1 billion in value, and most of their marketing rests on F1, because exposure > sporting results.

Fernando was told to let Lance by to chase down Tsunoda, Lance was told to give the place back after failing to do so, and he didn't. Tbf though it was more of strategic blunder by the team.

Cracks showing up on all fronts, Verstappen/GP-Red Bull, Norris/Piastri-Mclaren, Stroll/Alonso, this is great for neutrals
