Alpine has hired a new lawyer
One year after the confusion between Oscar Piastri and Alpine, the French team has just hired a new lawyer. And this is to avoid encountering this situation once again.
For several days, Alpine has been in the spotlight. The team is undergoing restructuring. As a result, Pat Fry has left the French team. Alan Permane and Otmar Szafnauer were removed during the Belgian Grand Prix.
But, one arrival went almost unnoticed. Yet this new person will have a crucial role. A few days before being dismissed, Otmar Szafnauer revealed that Alpine had hired a new lawyer.
Worked at Mercedes and Honda
« I have recruited a great lawyer, very experienced, in Caroline McGrory. I worked with her at Honda. She was the lawyer for Mercedes for a while, then she went on to do other things, including working in football and at the Commonwealth Games. She pays attention to details, she is incredibly smart, and now she has a lot of experience. So I am confident that between Caroline and myself, we will make sure that these loopholes in contracts never happen again », he stated in the Beyond the Grid podcast.
She arrived several months ago in the tricolor stable. Her role will be to prevent Alpine from finding itself in an embarrassing situation. Like last year, during the confusion with Oscar Piastri. Following this episode, the lawyer at the time was dismissed.
