The F1 vetera☂n is being lined up for a role with the Faenza outfit, which is set to undergo a rebrand and name change ahead of the 2024 se๊ason,  report.

Permane’s rumoured hire would be a major coup for the AlphaTauri squad, who are set 🦋to benefit from closer technical t🔯ies with sister team Red Bull. 

The 56-year-old worked at Enstone under the team’s various F1 guises for a total of 34 years, m𓂃ost recently serving as sporting director. 

Permane was axed by Alpine as parಌt of a major manage🍒ment shake-up that also saw team principal Otmar Szafnauer depart last summer.

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner heaped praise on Permane following the news🦂 of his Alpine departure.&n🐲bsp;

"Alan Permane is one of the rocks of F﷽1. He is one of the longest standing senior engineers in the sport, and certainly someone with a lot of knowledge,” Horner said. 

"I don't know about the ins and outs of the management reshuffle [at Alpine], but there is a lot of v🃏ery respectable people in there. And definitely, you shouldn't discount anyone of that seniority.

"Whilst I've never worked with Alan Permane, I think sometimes there has to be respect shown for somebody that's pu🌊t in 34 years of hard gr꧑aft and been involved in world championships with Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso. 

“He has also been a steady hand during periods of that team going into administration, and out of admin♎istration, and into different ownership and so on.

"He's very much been a constant there d🍒uring that period. I think that earns respect and recognition, and I'm sure he's a guy, like with Otmar, that won't find themselves out of work. It won't be the last 🐟you've seen of them in the pitlane, no doubt about that."
