Pierre Gasly reveals when Alpine pulled the plug on their 2025 development.
Alpine halted the development of their 2025 F1 car some months ago to concentrate on the upcoming regulation changes for next season, after struggling through a disappointing season.
Pierre Gasly has been the sole point-scorer for Alpine this season, but hasn’t secured a top-10 finish since July.
Acknowledging their current predicament, Gasly remains optimistic and determined ahead of the Sao Paulo Grand Prix, focusing on the unpredictable weather conditions that could work in their favor.
While other teams continue to bring upgrades, Alpine stands firm in their decision to shift focus to the future, aiming to make significant progress for the 2026 season following a challenging year.
Gasly’s commitment to Alpine’s project is evident as he looks forward to the team’s switch to Mercedes engines next season and believes in the potential for success with a rejuvenated approach in the coming years.
