Rob White steps down as Alpine operations director

The 58-year-old has been in his position since 2016, having worked for Alpine's parent company Renault for the last 20 years.

Alpine appointed John Woods as chief operating officer in February.

An Alpine spokesperson said: "As part of the team's wider operational restructure, we can confirm the departure of Rob White.

"The team is thankful for Rob's efforts during his long career both at Enstone and at Viry-Chatillon, where he led the championship-winning engine project in 2005 and 2006. We wish him the best in his future endeavours."

Alpine are currently ninth in the Constructors' standings after a challenging start to the season, with just two points.
