Alpine F1 drivers divided on 2024 cockpit size direction
The Enstone outfit, Alpine, finished fourth in the Constructors’ standings in the 2022 season, but they haven’t lived up to expectations this year. Gasly and Ocon formed an all-French driver pairing, but both have struggled to fully understand and perform well in the A523 car in a turbulent season. The team aimed to consolidate fourth place in the teams’ championship but has been surpassed by Aston Martin and McLaren. Despite this, Alpine has had some success, with both drivers achieving podium finishes. Gasly hopes for a narrower cockpit in the team’s 2024 challenger to improve aerodynamics, although Ocon requires more space for his taller frame. Overall, the team is working in a similar direction, and Gasly is satisfied with his relationship with Ocon.
