As Alpine transitions to Mercedes engines and undergoes a rebranding, some analysts argue that relocating the veteran driver into a competitive seat might not be beneficial. Instead, they propose that his expertise could be more valuable off the track, helping to guide upcoming talent and the team's strategic direction in a managerial capacity.
