Oliver Oakes is set to join the BWT Alpine Formula 1 team as its new team principal, following the news that Bruno Famin would step down from the role to lead all other motorsports-related areas for the Renault Group.

Oakes, a former racer and founder of the Hitech Grand Prix Formula 2 and 3 team, will start in the new role after Formula 1's summer break. He will report to Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo. At 36 years old, Oakes will be the second youngest team principal in Formula 1 history.
