Davide Brivio leaves Alpine team after three-year collaboration
Alpine Racing have announced that they will mutually part ways with Director of Racing Expansion Projects Davide Brivio at the end of the year, leaving the Italian to pursue other career opportunities.
It marks the end of a three-year collaboration with Brivio, who joined the team ahead of the 2021 F1 season as Racing Director. Since then, Davide took on a role working as Director of Racing Expansion Projects, which included the management of the Alpine Academy, the team’s young driver programme.
Julian Rouse will continue to oversee the Alpine Academy programme, which will enter its ninth year in 2024 and currently features nine drivers of eight nationalities, spanning four different series from FIA Formula 2 through to European Karting, and continues to play a central role in the Alpine project.
Speaking of the changes, Interim Team Principal, Bruno Famin added: “Firstly, we would like to thank Davide for his hard work and commitment over the last three seasons. His experience in motorsports has been extremely valuable, especially in the development and progression of the Alpine Academy. Davide’s wish is to leave Alpine to pursue other opportunities and we have accepted his desire by mutually agreeing to part ways. We extend our best wishes to him in his next chapter of an already impressive career in motorsports.”

Commenting on his departure from the Enstone-based outfit, Brivio said: “It has been a proud chapter in my motorsport career to be involved in Formula 1 with Alpine. I would like to thank Alpine for the opportunity to experience Formula 1 which was my desire and also for the chance to pass on some of my experience in motorsport onto its young drivers in the Alpine Academy.
"I wish the team and the Academy the best in the future and I’m sure we will see many young drivers go on to achieve fantastic things in their careers. To play a small part in some of that success will certainly be something I will cherish. I am grateful to Alpine for accommodating my wish to pursue other opportunities which may (and I hope that they will) arise in the future.”
