Oakes was appointed only nine months ago and the 37-year-old’s resignation, which a statement from Alpine read they had accepted with “immediate effect”, comes with the team expected to replace their driver Jack Doohan with Franco Colapinto before the next round at Imola.

Demonstrating with emphatic effect that he must be considered now the front runner for the championship, Oscar Piastri’s drive from fourth on the grid to victory at the Miami Grand Prix was the stuff that defines the battling Aussie spirit.
