Another surprising move by the Alpine F1 Team is the focus of the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast.
Flavio Briatore's return to the Renault-owned team is a controversial move given his history and the events of Singapore 2008, but we delve into the reasons why this happened.
Scott Mitchell-Malm and Damian Smith, author of Benetton: Formula 1 Rebels and thus experts on the Enstone team and Briatore's past there, join Ed Straw to look at the decision from all angles.
We explain his role, the value he could add to the team, and delve into the wider questions of whether it would be the right thing to return given the circumstances of his departure 15 years ago.
The strange story of Renault considering turning Alpine into a customer team and the encouraging progress the company has made recently is also discussed.
