Alpine has dismissed veteran operations director Rob White, marking another instance of management upheaval at the struggling French team.

Alpine's veteran operations director, Rob White, has been let go amid management changes at the struggling French team.

White, 58, had a notable career spanning two decades with Alpine's parent company, Renault, in Formula 1. He held the role of director of operations at the Enstone factory since 2016.

Team principal Bruno Famin delivered the news of White's dismissal, which was communicated to the factory on Wednesday.

White is highly regarded in the engineering realm, having joined Renault in 2004 as the deputy managing director of engines at their F1 facility in Paris.

Prior to that, he led F1 engine operations at the renowned UK motorsport engine-builder Cosworth.

An Alpine spokesperson remarked, "As part of the team's broader operational restructuring, we confirm the departure of Rob White. The team acknowledges Rob's contributions during his extensive career at Enstone and Viry-Chatillon, where he spearheaded the championship-winning engine project in 2005 and 2006. We extend our best wishes to him in his future endeavors."
