He is a graduate of Enseeiht and IFP School / ENSPM. He began his career in 2000 at Renault, in the mechanical engineering department.

In a surprise move, Groupe Renault announced the departure of Abiteboul from its fold, with Rossi taking over the Alpine CEO role, which was supposed to fall in the hands of the Frenchman.

Motorsports is in our DNA and now is the time for Alpine colours to race and compete in the pinnacle of motorsport racing in Formula 1. Alpine naturally finds its place in the high standards, prestige and performance of Formula 1 and we’re eagerly anticipating the debut of the A521 piloted by our drivers, two-time Formula 1 World Drivers’ Champion Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon.
