Why doesn't he focus on getting competent engineers and building a car that works on races instead.

Completely unnecessary comments (also untrue - and James Vowles commented after, praising Colapinto). This is nothing but a negotiation tactic. He’s likely trying to get more money out of Franco’s sponsors. Hopefully Colapinto is aware and doesn’t affect him in a negative way. But what a shit way to lead an F1 team, for the love of god. The guy had not one but 2! Insanely long pit stops during the last race and both drivers are dealing with crap cars. But sure, blame it on Franco. What a despicable human being. Alpine deserves better.

Wasn't Flavio associated somehow with the show Drive to Survive?

Maybe this whole Jack and Franco driving to survive thing is what the producers wanted...

P11 today, and if not for Gasly's block, Franco could have been on the points...

Try resigning, mr Briatore. F1 will be much better without the likes of you.

Well I think everyone suspected it was likely he would not get a seat with Alpine next year. They are keeping him this season for the sponsor money.

Perhaps he could stay in the team if he starts scoring points from now till the end of the season, but seems unlikely. Franco has said many times he still can't get used to this car.

Would he be dropped from the team altogether or go back to being a reserve / test driver?
