Alain Prost has accused the Alpine F1 Team of having “no respect” after his departure was leaked before being made official.
Prost, a four-time Formula One world champion, had been the team’s special adviser since 2017, serving through its rebrand from Renault to Alpine ahead of last season.
The F1 website announced the news on Monday, before Prost confirmed it later that day.
In a post to Instagram, Prost said he had turned down an offer to stay at the team rather than Alpine opting against renewing his deal.
“I am very disappointed how this news has been announced today,” Prost posted.

“I have refused the offer made to me in Abu Dhabi for the 2022 season because of a personal relationship and I was right!
“To the Enstone and Viry team, I will miss you.”
