How under-the-skin changes can help Alpine overcome F1 engine deficit
Alpine made the decision in November 2022 to revamp their F1 car for the 2024 season. The A524, unveiled at a launch event, featured significant revisions compared to its predecessor. However, the team acknowledged that their engine was lacking in power compared to rivals. Despite an investigation, no action was taken to equalize their performance. Instead, the team focused on improving areas that interact with the engine, such as engine installation and reducing the weight of transmission components. Aero changes were also made, both visible and internal, to optimize the car’s cooling and airflow.
