Alpine has had an extremely difficult start to the year. After being in no man’s land and finishing in 6th place in the constructors’ championship last year despite 2 Grand Prix podiums, the French outfit hoped they could rise higher and compete for bigger points regularly. However, the team is in freefall, and they are…
Alpine has an underwhelming start of the 2024 season, to put it mildly. Completely off the pace in Bahrein the only reason they didn’t finish last was due to the misfortune of Logan Sargeant and Valtteri Bottas. A week later in Jeddah it wasn’t much better, as Pierre Gasly had to retire after one lap. Esteban Ocon managed to stay ahead of a few cars, but was helped by Kevin Magnussen severely dropping the pace to help his Haas-teammate Nico Hülkenberg.
Alpine has had a rough go in the first two races of the season. They have failed to score a point with their race winning driver duo of Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon, and the Enstone-based squad hasn’t made it out of Q1 either. Multiple departures of key technical staff leave the team in a…
Alpine’s downturn in performance has been one of the biggest surprises of the season so far. Much like McLaren in the early rounds of the 2023 season, Alpine has found itself struggling to extract performance out of its sluggish and reportedly overweight car. Qualifying in the two lowest spots on the grid and subsequently failing…
Alpine driver Pierre Gasly said the team is undergoing “positive changes” despite the resignation from technical director Matt Harman and aerodynamicist Dirk de Beer. The French team had a rough start to the 2024 Formula 1 season after drivers Esteban Ocon and Gasly finished P17 and P18 respectively. Alpine expected degraded performance after introducing a…
The 2024 Formula 1 season has only begun but Alpine F1 Team is dealing with a whirlwind of challenges, including resignations from vital members of the team. Not only did the team display a poor performance at the season opener in Bahrain, but their technical director Matt Harman and head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer…
It’s time for the first qualifying session of the 2024 season. Who will start the year from the top spot of the grid, reigning champion Max Verstappen who had claimed both P1 and win in the past season, Charles Leclerc, who had done the same in 2022, or a totally unexpected contender?
2024 so far has not been going according to Alpine’s plans. After many early reports of failed crash tests and radical changes to the package following a disappointing 2023 where they were a distant P6, the A524 rolled out for its first official outing of the year last week. It wasn’t an easy pre-season test…
Alpine’s Team Principal Bruno Famin claimed Alpine have had ‘a solid three-day test’ and that they’ve focused on themselves. That is probably a good thing because if they were comparing the A524 to other cars on display they would see that it looks very much as if Alpine are going to be battling near the…
