Oliver Oakes is no longer team principal at Alpine F1 Team. The Briton's duties with the Renault owned team will be taken over by Executive Advisor, Flavio Briatore. Internet users have let their opinions be known with regards to the recent breaking news.
Did he quit, or was he fired for fighting for Doohan?
Resigned or fired?

To be honest I kind of like this cut-throat approach from Flavio
