For the second successive season Alpine heads into Formula 1's summer break reeling from a bombshell announcement. This time it's as a result of a slightly earlier, in-house decision to part ways with team principal Otmar Szafnauer and long-time sporting director Alan Permane on the same weekend it lost veteran F1 engineer Pat Fry to Williams.Scott Mitchell-Malm and Josh Suttill join Edd Straw to dissect Alpine's choices including what it says about the Alpine 'project' in F1 and where the team goes from here.
