Brivio: F1 drivers work more than MotoGP riders Date published: April 24 2021 Alpine racing director Davide Brivio sees similarities between Formula 1 and MotoGP, but feels a Formula 1 driver has the higher workload. The Alpine brand came to Formula 1 for the first time in 2021, and already the team took a different approach by not hiring a team principal, which has long been a traditional role in the series. Instead, Brivio was brought in from MotoGP after stints with Yamaha and Suzuki, with his racing director role complementing the duties of executive director Marcin Budkowski to form the Alpine Formula 1 management team, reporting to CEO of the brand Laurent Rossi.
