 | Alpin may be interested in inviting Perez (Joe Saward)24-04-2026 |
Perez could go to Alpin. Well-known British journalist Joe Saward said that changes in the Alpin pilots could occur next year.
The journalist noted that if Franco Colapinto does not live up to expectations, Sergio Perez may take his place in the future.
The search for the team leader continues in Alpin. Luca De Meo (President of Renault) still believes that Flavio Briatore is the solution to his problems, although not everyone thinks so.
So far, the decision to replace Jack Duhan with Franco Colapinto does not look very effective. Let`s see how Franco performs in the remaining races. Duane is still on the team, although he does not appear to have any active role in Alpine at the moment.
Meanwhile, there are rumors in the paddock that Sergio Perez could be called up to help Pierre Gasly at Alpine. They say that Perez really wants to return to Formula 1. The Mexican is followed everywhere by carts loaded with money, and he has experience in F1. So his candidacy may indeed be of interest to Briatore. Especially if, as several French publications claim, Briatore receives a percentage of all Alpin transactions. Personally, I don`t know if this is actually the case, since several very reliable sources are now reporting conflicting information on this issue. But I am sure that Flavio earns a lot - one way or another. I hope Renault really believes it`s worth it.
A year ago, when Briatore joined Alpin, the team was eighth in the Constructors` Championship. Now, following the results of the Spanish Grand Prix, Alpin has dropped to tenth place, and this despite the fact that Pierre Gasly finished the race in eighth. Perhaps Alpin doesn`t deserve to be so low, but in Formula 1 it`s always been about how many points you earn. “We`ll see if these rumors come true, but it`s possible that some people are just trying to take a swipe at the Cadillac team, which seems determined to land Perez in 2026, ” Sayward said.
