Otmar Szafnauer would not be surprised by a plot against Alpine '...maybe in a couple of years someone says that they have evidence of shared information, I would not be surprised.' F1
Otmar Szafnauer has said he “would not be surprised” to learn major figures in Formula 1 had been sharing information with each other behind closed doors.
Understandably Szafnauer has felt let down by major players involved in the negotiations and, given the quickness of Alonso’s move to Aston Martin, it was put to him that maybe there had been some talk behind Alpine’s backs., Szafnauer was asked if he had been naïve given Alonso, Mark Webber and Flavio Briatore were all very close to which he replied he “would not be surprised” to learn information had been shared.
“That’s how I’ve run my business in Formula 1 for 25 years. And if this has happened, you should not be surprised.” “In our future, in that 100-race plan that we are all working on, I think there is also room for Piastri. And we have supported him. There should be some loyalty to the fact that we have literally invested millions and millions of euros to prepare him. So I don’t get it either, you should ask him.
The first he became aware that something was afoot was on the morning after the Hungarian Grand Prix to which the Romanian-American awoke to find his two-time World Champion had departed. The day before Alonso had told Szafnauer he was going on holiday to Greece and would not be able to reached so it came of little surprise when the Alpine boss rang with no answer.
