Alpine abandons F1 engine equalisation push
Alpine has withdrawn proposed upgrades to its current engine due to lack of support from rival teams, resulting in the closure of the FIA assessment. The FIA had noted a performance gap in Alpine’s Renault engine compared to its rivals and discussed ways to remedy this. However, Alpine has decided to abandon the engine equalization plan and focus on the development of the new engine rules, which emphasize sustainable fuel and electric power. The team made this decision after realizing it did not have full support from its rivals and chose to allocate resources to the new engine instead. Alpine actively made the decision not to pursue the matter further based on discussions with the FIA and other power unit manufacturers.
