Unless the car gets better this year and/or Flavio Briatore leaves - I think Gasly will start exploring his options at the end of the season - in my opinion he is a fairly talented driver and I would like to see him in a better car to see what he could do. He must be getting sick of this as well.

I still think Renault have stuck Flavio there with a remit to make Alpine seem more attractive to potential buyers so that Renault can sell the remainder of their stake in the team and finally - and completely - leave the building. It's still a joke that the man was allowed to return to a management role within an F1 team given his shady history. And of all the teams to welcome him back into the fold, it still beggars belief that it was Alpine (Renault)????

Would love to know more details about the reasons behind Oakes' departure. Obviously we can all speculate (looking at you, Flav....), but unless it comes from the horse's mouth, it's nothing more than speculation. With his departure, the writing was sadly on the wall for young Jack. Flav has never liked Doohan and it's no surprise that at the first opportunity, he's ousted him from the seat. To Jack's credit, he's handled this latest blow, along with the rest of his challenging season thus far, with great professionalism. Frankly, Alpine's management doesn't deserve it, but Jack will earn respect from the non-dodgy Alpine team members, his fellow drivers, and other prospective employers.

As for the Gas-man? I'm sure he'll be keeping his options open.
 
Autosport Exclusive: Carlos Sainz Sr considering run for FIA president

"Sources close to the former World Rally champion and Dakar winner said that several key figures from within the motorsport world have approached him about running against Ben Sulayem, the current FIA president.

Autosport understands that Sainz, the father of Williams Formula 1 driver Carlos Sainz, is now seriously considering whether to stand against Ben Sulayem, whose tenure as president of F1’s governing body has been marred by controversy."
