Maini, who joined the Alpine Academy last year, is part of Alpine’s driver development program. Besides testing, he works on the team’s simulator and assists the team with analysing the data.

Maini is competing in Formula 2 this year and has had a decent season so far. He was on pole for the Jeddah race and finished second in the feature race. He finished third in the Melbourne sprint race and is currently placed 5th in the Driver’s Championship standings.

Other drivers who are part of Alpine’s driver development program include Jack Doohan, who is the team’s reserve driver, and Victor Martins, the 2022 Formula 2 champion.

This is the only Alpine related news articles I have seen, so I am going to ask the question here

Now that Esteban and Alpine have parted ways, where do you people think he will go?

I think what makes it particularly challenging is that he has to compete with Carlos Sainz (Perez extended contract with red bull). His only options are HAAS, Kick Sauber, Williams and maybe Mercedes
