Read in euro press the rapid departure of Ollie Oakes could have something to do with his brother being arrested and charged with "transferring criminal property" after being found in "possession of a large amount of cash" when he was stopped in Silverstone on May 1. Apparently Oakes and his brother co-own an F4 team... with somewhat shady accounting... Not looking great if he felt the need to resign immediately. That leaves that saint and super clean "Briatore" in charge ("you crasha into da walla turna 17, OK Nelson?") . Seriously, Alpine is cursed. Forget it, just sell the damn team, I am done rooting for the underdog. Focus on endurance maybe, at least that car is pretty and doing OK now (3rd at Spa this w/e).

as for Oakes, "It’s believed he remains in Dubai after resigning from his position with Alpine last week." - yikes.
