Co-Author: Syrine Ferchichi Luca de Meo, CEO of Renault Group, has explained the rationale behind Renault’s decision to cease development of their F1 engine by 2026, confirming that Alpine will instead source power units from Mercedes. While this move guarantees jobs at Viry-Châtillon, it signifies a strategic shift for the company. “We became invisible,” de…
Alpine continue to be nowhere close to their expected goals for this season. As a usual midfield contender, the team sit all the way down in 9th in the Constuctors’ Championship.

Alpine’s Esteban Ocon did not hide his disappointment about the inability to challenge their rivals during the Singapore Grand Prix, which saw the Frenchman finishing 13th after qualifying 15th.

Abbi Pulling’s domination of the all-female series showed once more in Singapore, where the English driver supported by Alpine placed on the top of the sheets in the practice session, took double pole and then won both races. With one hand on the Drivers’ Championship trophy already, Pulling can now rest after another brilliant performance…
Maya Weug, backed up by Ferrari in F1 Academy, scored another podium to add to her resume as a talented racing driver with great potential. The 20-year-old started the race in P2 and even though she didn’t manage to catch Abbi Pulling in first, at least she didn’t let Doriane Pin behind pass her. She…
