Alpine CTO link for Mike Elliott remains unconfirmed

Mike Elliott has been linked with Alpine's CTO role, but the supplied sources do not confirm the move and no official team announcement is included here.

Mike Elliott has been linked with a possible move to Alpine as chief technical officer, but that remains unconfirmed on the supplied material. No official statement from Alpine is included, and the claim cannot be presented as an established appointment.

The two source items provided do not back up the reported link. Formula1.com’s supplied article is about notable pranks in Formula 1 history, while BBC Sport’s supplied report says Charles Leclerc was fastest in first practice for the Mexico City Grand Prix. Neither item mentions Elliott or an Alpine CTO change.

On that basis, the story can only be framed as an unconfirmed report. There are no sourced details here on timing, contract terms or Elliott’s current role, so those points should not be stated as fact.
