Alpine team principal Bruno Famin stated that the tough start of the Formula 1 season, culminating in being on the last row of the grid, solidified the decision to implement changes within the team. The departures of technical director Matt Harman and head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer were announced before the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix, with the team already focused on a new technical structure. Famin emphasized that the poor early results verified the necessity of the team changes. The new structure at Alpine includes three technical directors leading different departments for enhanced trackside performance and organizational effectiveness. Famin expressed confidence in the team’s ability to evolve and improve with the revised approach, indicating a focus on both short-term impact and long-term development beyond the introduction of new regulations in 2026.
