fairly negligible there 'cause it's part of the the appeal.

It doesn't mean you let them run things and they've they probably let the manufacturers have too much sway in formulating the regulations for this, but that doesn't mean that you go completely the opposite way.
voice-verified
So again, the reality is there and there is a financial reality as well as a sporting reality to be considered here.
voice-verified
Right, for the final part of the podcast we're gonna talk about some of the other goings on in F one lately.
voice-verified
Glenn, the first is that former Mercedes man Mike Elliott has been appointed chief technical officer by Alpine.
voice-verified
It's announced in a fairly perfunctory press release issued yesterday.
voice-verified
Do you think that's a good appointment?
voice-verified
The other thing I like, and I'll be interested to get your opinion on this, John, is I think it it suits the roles because obviously there was a point early in 23 where they swapped Mike Elliott and James Allison.
voice-verified
James Allison was the chief technical officer and he got made the technical director and Elliot went the other way, and there was talk about them being more suited to those particular roles.
voice-verified
And I think maybe we see a little bit of that with Alpine that you've got David Sanchez, who's the executive technical director.
voice-verified
director, I think is his title, and then Elliot will sort of sit above him because Elliot's less your kind of sort of in the trenches battling technical director, but he can take the slightly broader view in terms of the ideas and everything.
voice-verified
And I can see that working with what Alpine have got as a setup as well.
voice-verified
So it seems like quite a good deployment of someone who is hugely, hugely knowledgeable and capable.
voice-verified
Yeah, and Alpine needs to keep pushing on to try and break out of this cycle it's got because yeah, they're having a good season.
voice-verified
They had the poll at Monza.
voice-verified
They've been
voice-verified
at or near the front of the midfield throughout.
voice-verified
They're sixth currently.
voice-verified
It's seventy seven points to Racing Bulls, sixty eight to Alpine, which is fine.
voice-verified
But if you look back since that team was renamed Alpine, they've gone fifth, fourth, sixth, sixth, tenth, sixth at the moment.
