Alpine has dropped a number of senior figures as part of a management reshuffle, but will those changes help the team fast-track success in F1? Analysis:

has been able, despite the corporate environment of Mercedes, to build a set-up that gives that to the management of Mercedes F1. So, I think that's what is needed.

“It takes someone who's going to tell the race teams, go for it, whatever you need, you will get it from me and I will be protecting you,” he said. This empowerment of team figures seems to be in complete contrast to what Alpine did in splitting with Szafnauer and Permane – a move which cannot but help have had a negative effect on morale with Alpine.

“I think it's human reaction that always, when something goes wrong, you want to say it's [someone else’s] fault, because that allows us to get pressure off us,” he said. “It's something that we actively debate. “Fundamentally, it is all my fault: If we have bad pit stop, it's not because a mechanic has just underperformed, it is because his equipment is not up to the job, or the training hasn't been good enough, or our wheel nuts are not how they should be.

Vowles says, based on his estimations for a squad like Williams, it is a three-year process to get the right tools sorted. Changing the spirit within a squad does not happen any quicker.
