Alpine confident for ‘good news’ in Habsburg injury recovery
At the last weekend’s Imola WEC race, the French manufacturer hinted that Ferdy Habsburg is expected to join Charles Milesi and Paul-Loup Chatin in the #35 Alpine A424 LMDh at Spa 6 Hours on 11 May. Philippe Sinault, Signatech squad boss, expressed optimism about Habsburg’s imminent return, mentioning positive developments in his personal and medical environment. Sinault suggested that a decision regarding Habsburg’s participation in the Belgian WEC round at Spa could be made by the end of the week. Habsburg, recovering from injuries sustained in a testing accident, will undergo scans before Spa, with no confirmation yet for his presence in the WEC race. Sinault attributed Habsburg’s accident to a technical issue rather than driver error, emphasizing the team’s ongoing investigations and hard work post-incident. Despite the setback, Sinault assured that the accident did not significantly impact Alpine’s preparations for the upcoming Le Mans 24 Hours in June.
