Gasly pays tribute to ‘honest and transparent’ Pamyn

Pierre Gasly has paid tribute to outgoing Alpine team principal Bruno Farmin, acknowledging the Frenchman’s contribution to the Enstone team during a time of great turmoil and upheaval.

Pamin’s resignation, announced ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix, is the latest in a string of high-profile departures from Alpine’s management structure over the past 12 months.

The 62-year-old engineer and vice president of Alpine Motorsports took charge of the manufacturer’s F1 team a year ago after the Enstone squad parted ways with former team boss Ottmar Schaffnauer and sporting director Alan Furman.

After a poor showing on the track last year, Farmin oversaw a series of internal changes, particularly within Alpine’s technical department, which included the departure of key technical personnel such as Matt Harmon and Dirk De Beer and the arrival of former Ferrari engineer David Sanchez.

Despite the uncertain situation, Gasly maintained a positive outlook and praised Pamin’s leadership qualities.

“Well, first of all I would like to thank Bruno,” the Alpine rider said following the announcement at Spa-Francorchamps last weekend that Pamin was stepping down as team boss.

“I’ve had a really good relationship with him during my time on the team. He’s very honest and transparent.

“He will certainly remain in the Alpine family in some other role. [but] I appreciate his hard work and wish him the best for the future.”

Alpine confirmed on Wednesday that 36-year-old Oliver Oakes, founder of highly successful junior single-seater team Hitec Grand Prix, would succeed Farmin at the end of the F1 summer break.

Pamin is expected to return to Renault’s engine division, Birichatillon, to oversee the restructuring of the department following the manufacturer’s decision to scrap plans for a F1 power unit for 2026. That decision has not yet been confirmed.

For reasons of financial efficiency, Renault was forced to consider discontinuing its own program and signing an engine supply contract with an external partner, possibly Mercedes.
