Why progress, not early form, is all that matters for Alpine F1 boss
The French manufacturer, Alpine, is preparing for potential challenges at the back of the field based on the performance of its new A524 in Bahrain testing. The team principal, Bruno Famin, emphasizes that early results won’t determine their season’s success. Instead, their focus for 2024 is on constant improvement throughout the team and car development. Alpine abandoned its 100-race plan and aims to work collectively to enhance the car with input from all departments including trackside, Viry, and Enstone. Despite initial struggles in testing, Alpine is striving to find the right balance between aero improvements and weight reduction, with the true performance test set for the Bahrain GP weekend.
