Alpine’s 2024 campaign started in Bahrain with one of the slowest packages, but three consecutive weekends in the points have shown signs of improvement. Despite Esteban Ocon choosing to move elsewhere in 2025, Pierre Gasly decided to stay with the Anglo-French Alpine team for the upcoming season and beyond. Gasly’s decision to remain is based on the team’s potential and recent positive signs of progress, rather than past poor results. Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo and Alpine Team Principal Bruno Famin played a significant role in convincing Gasly to stay by showing commitment to technical recruitment and development for the new regulation in 2026. Gasly dismissed rumors about Renault potentially selling the team or changing plans for the 2026 power unit, emphasizing the strong commitment and belief that Renault and de Meo have in the Alpine team and its future success.
