The Alpine omnishambles and what it means for its F1 future

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.
