Alpine’s 2024 F1 car "new front to back" after maxing out 2023 design
Alpine fell from fourth place in 2022 to sixth last season, struggling to keep up with rivals McLaren and Aston Martin. The team decided to completely redesign the car for 2024, as they had reached the limit of performance improvements on the previous model. The aim with the new A524 is to have a wider performance range and maximize its potential. The changes include a new chassis, revised suspension and brake system, a new nose and front wing, and aggressive floor development. The team hopes these modifications will allow for continuous development in the next two seasons. The project started at the end of the 2022 season and experiments were conducted throughout 2023 to identify areas for improvement in aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics.
