Alpine overhauls technical department ahead of 2022 F1 season

With the Enstone-based squad looking to make changes to help fast-track its progress up the grid, its CEO Laurent Rossi has been evaluating tweaks to the organisation ahead of the 2022 campaign.

While there has yet to be confirmation about a potential team principal, with Otmar Szafnauer having been strongly linked, the team has finalised some tweaks on the technical front.

Pat Fry, Alpine’s technical director who has previously had senior positions at McLaren and Ferrari, is being promoted to the position of chief technical officer (CTO). His former role will be taken by Matt Harman.

As CTO, Fry will be in charge of all the technical activities at Alpine, which will include setting the performance target of the car, defining the strengths of the squad and working out where the organisation can make improvements in the future.

Harman, who was previously engineering director, will be charged with delivering car performance and sorting out the technical organisation below him.
