Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi has played down reports suggesting new racing director Davide Brivio might be on the cusp of returning to MotoGP. Italian Brivio joined the Renault-owned Formula 1 team this year but has indicated that his adjustment after running MotoGP outfits has been more difficult than expected. “So for me, there is no Davide Brivio topic to talk about. Like all managers of the team, he will be evaluated on the achievements and results of this year,” he added. “So when you do an engine freeze, you have to regress the following year and that’s what happened.”. So this engine is going to be very different from the current engine, that’s for sure,” he said.
