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. There's also a discussion about what Fry's signing means for Williams as well as the panel's thoughts on four-time F1 champion Alain Prost's "distressed" reaction to the team's strife. Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and FacebookCheck out our latest videos on YouTubeDownload our app on iOS or AndroidClick here to join The Race Members' Club and have the opportunity to ask a question on the showGo to grammarly.com/go to download and learn more about GrammarlyGO Hosted on Acast.

Ahead of the British Grand Prix at Silverstone, join Edd Straw for a special road trip taking in a pair of F1 factories in the UK’s famous ‘motorsport valley’. First, Edd pays a visit to Alpine’s HQ in Enstone as the team plays host to the launch of the Alpine A110 S 'Enstone edition' road car. You’ll hear Edd chat to Pierre Gasly, team boss Otmar Szafnauer, and technical director Matt Harman as they look ahead to the team's ‘home’ race. After that, Edd jumps back in his car and drives south to Williams’ base in Grove for ‘a night at the museum’, where hears from the likes of team boss James Vowles and casts his eye over several British GP winners in the team’s incredible heritage car collection. And finally, before setting off home, Edd gives us a rundown of storylines to look out for over the weekend.Follow The Race on Instagram, Twitter and FacebookCheck out our latest videos on YouTubeDownload our app on iOS or AndroidClick here to join The Race Members' Club and have the opportunity to ask a question on the showGo to grammarly.com/GO to download and learn more about GrammarlyGO Hosted on Acast.
