Is Binotto set to take over at Alpine?

Rumours over the past week suggested that Mattia Binotto might be set to take over from Otmar Szafnauer as Team Principal at Alpine.

The French squad's poor start to 2023 led to public criticism earlier this month from CEO Laurent Rossi, leading some to suggest that Szafnauer’s position may be under threat.

But even if Alpine are keen to ring the changes, would Binotto be in a position to take over, and would he even want the job?

Joining host Balve Bains to discuss the last week in F1 are RacingNews365.com Asia Correspondent Michael Butterworth and Editorial Director Dieter Rencken.
