Alpine has revealed it has systems in place that will bear fruit in time for the new Formula 1 regulations
Alpine had a promising start in 2022 but slipped to sixth place last season due to a decrease in performance and scoring fewer points. They faced challenges with an underpowered engine and had several key figures depart mid-season. Their focus has now shifted towards the future, including the new power unit regulations set to be introduced in 2026 which will open up possibilities for improvement. Alpine will also benefit from a revised Capital Expenditure spending structure, allowing them to invest more in essential systems and tools. They are aiming to improve their capabilities and functions at both sites and are prioritizing simulation tools to find answers quickly. Despite their long-term plans, the team acknowledges the need to perform well in the upcoming two seasons before reaping the benefits of the 2026 regulations.
