Alpine Team Principal Bruno Famin has detailed the upgrades being made to the team’s two bases as part of the CapEx changes.
The FIA agreed to provide additional CapEx funds to smaller teams like Williams, who argued that their outdated facilities hindered their performance compared to larger teams like Red Bull and Mercedes. The boost amounted to $20 million for the four smallest teams and an extra $6 million for the big three, bringing their CapEx limit to $51 million. Alpine, along with McLaren and Aston Martin, received a $13 million increase to a $58 million CapEx limit over four years. Alpine has already invested in facility upgrades, including new dynos for electric vehicle motors and renovations at their Viry and Enstone locations. These investments will improve their performance on the track and enhance their productivity in the factory.
