Alpine decided earlier this year to shut down its F1 power unit programme – it has now confirmed its new supplier.
“The Alpine F1 team has confirmed that Mercedes will supply the team with power units from 2026 under a multi-year agreement. Alpine, owned by Renault, decided earlier this year to stop its engine project in Formula 1 due to performance issues with the Renault engine in the current regulations cycle. Ahead of the introduction of new engine rules in 2026, Alpine has chosen to partner with Mercedes as its new power unit and gearbox supplier. The agreement will see Mercedes supply Alpine with power units until at least 2030, along with Mercedes gearboxes starting from the 2026 season. This marks a significant move for Alpine in preparation for the upcoming changes in F1 regulations. The article will be updated with any further developments regarding this partnership.”
