After a disappointing 2023 season where Alpine slipped to sixth place in the Constructors’ Championship, the team is making significant changes for 2024. The parent company, Renault, restructured the F1 management team, resulting in the departure of Team Principal Otmar Szafnauer. Bruno Famin has taken over as the new Team Principal. Alpine has made alterations to their operating procedures and technical aspects, including the design of their new car, the A524. They are optimistic that these changes will pay off both on and off the track. One visible change is the opening of new roles in health care to support the demanding 24-race schedule. Additionally, the team has focused on improving the fit and comfort of the drivers in the car, with seat fitting now taking just 20 minutes compared to three-quarters of a day in the previous year. Despite the challenges faced in 2023, the team is determined to improve and return to their previous success.
