Alpine recently made a significant change to its technical department following a disappointing start to the 2024 Formula 1 season.
Alpine team principal Bruno Famin has praised the positive impact of the squad’s new executive technical director, David Sanchez, who recently joined after leaving McLaren.

Famin acknowledged that although Sanchez has not made significant changes to the car yet, his presence has boosted team morale. Currently sitting ninth in the constructors’ championship, Alpine is optimistic about Sanchez’s influence on future upgrades and the team’s overall performance. Famin emphasized the importance of Sanchez’s role in accelerating the car’s development and expressed confidence in the team’s ability to recover from their challenging start.
