Brivio joined F1 as Alpine's racing director but, after three years together which included🧸 a tweak in his job role, the team has confirmed he will exit at the end of 2023.

꧂He was previously link🐽ed with a return to MotoGP with Honda.

Now, Alpine's stജatement saying their mutual parting is "leaving the Italian to pursue other career opportunities" suggests a return to MotoGP could be close.

Last month, he was tipped to repl♏ace Alberto Puig as team boss of Repsol Honda.

The Japanese manufacturers 𒀰are underdඣoing a major revamp in the wake of losing Marc Marquez after two uncompetitive seasons.

The exit of technical director Shiniꦬchi Kokubu was the first eye-opening move.

Brivio has experience of working for Japanese b🗹rands, Suzuki and Yamah🐠a.

He oversaw Joan Mir's 2020♔ MotoGP championship with Suzuki befo🌼re heading to Formula 1. Should he return now, he would be reunited with Mir who is set for a second season with Repsol Honda.

Mir's teammate will be Luca Marini, the replaceꦚment for Marquez.

💧Marini's arrival is also notable because Brivio's finest work came alongside Valentino Rossi, Marini's brother, during the legend's heyday.

Some reports in I꧂taly, during Marini's negotiation to quit VR46 and go to Honda, suggested that Rossi green-lighted his brother's move because he knew that Brivio would be c🌸oming in.
