Alpine will possibly be using Mercedes power units next year as Renault has officially shut down their engine works. If Alpine survives.
I reckon Alpine will survive, can't see Flavio taking on task of just closing it down or selling it straight away - unless it's to him on the cheap.
Maybe in time it'll morph into a Genii mk2 outfit with Ollie Oaks leader of HiTECH rumoured to be parachuted in as new dealer principal in the meanwhile.
Think HiTECH put in bid for place on grid when FIA opened the process last year. If things don't work out in Flavio's turnaround plan HiTECH backers may step up to the plate in a year or 2.
Also think Renault will retain enough control to keep the cars badged Alpine even if only like Alfa Romeo with Sauber.
