MotoGP icon Davide Brivio is departing Suzuki to join Fernando Alonso’s Alpine Formula 1 team.
The man who took Suzuki to the top of the world after years in the doldrums has called it mission accomplished on two wheels, for now, as he begins his adventure with four wheels.
Although no confirmation has been forthcoming as yet from Renault F1 Team, which morphs into Alpine F1 Team this year with Alonso leading the charge alongside Esteban Ocon.
Brivio released the following statement: “A new professional challenge and opportunity suddenly came to me and in the end I decided to take it. It has been a difficult decision. The hardest part will be to leave this fabulous group of people, whom I started this project with when Suzuki rejoined the Championship.
