Szafnauer says, 'Everyone in Formula 1 wants success instantly, and unfortunately, that's not how it works.'
Otmar Szafnauer, an American-Romanian, said that he was hired by Renault with the understanding that he had 100 races to turn things around.Alpine entered the sport's summer break in sixth place in the Formula 1 Constructors' Championship after finishing fourth a year ago.
On July 28, Szafnauer, along with team sporting director Alan Permane were let go. Szafnauer was replaced, at least on an interim basis, by Bruno Famin, vice president of Alpine Motorsports. "There are pockets of the organization that, you know, the skill level is at a very elementary level and that's because the people they have there were college graduates, for example, as opposed to somebody with 25 years of knowledge and it was in those areas that I started to recruit, but the best in Formula 1 are usually on long-term contracts.
Otmar Snafnauer was operating under the belief that he had four, maybe five years to get the job done at Alpine.Szafnauer said that Renault management had agreed roughly five years to get the job done. "They already had a plan called the Mountain Climber, which they recognized that they needed to recruit in some areas, and then I started helping with that. I mean, after 26 years in the business, you know some of the people at other teams that are capable and competent, and then you go after them.
