Alpine team project gone falling apart as winter passed and the 2024 Formula 1 season begansince many of the names in the technical group were resigning their positions, although the arrival of David Sánchez fueled Alpine’s enthusiasm as he had great experience at Ferrari and a short period of work with McLaren.
The director of the team, Bruno Faminhe realizes that things are going much better for the Gauls with the arrival of this engineer, and in an interview he gave to Sky Sports F1, he assured that provided “added value”. The head of the group was very happy about it, and said:“We are very happy to have him involved in the technical aspect, because he has completely changed the attitude and perspective with which we pursue the technical development of the vehicle.”
The boss of the team remains silent about what David Sánchez does for the momentbut showed his confidence in him: “I am confident that we can do a really good job in Enstone and Viry-Chatillon in the coming months.”
Alpine showed some signs of recovery in the last rounds of the calendar, they even opened their locker and are no longer at the bottom of the constructors’ table, because they are eighth, and the trend towards a bottomless pit seems to have stopped. However, What does that mean for the rest of the season and can they still achieve something in 2024?
Alpine’s goal for the 2024 season in Formula 1
Bruno Famin keeps a low profile and avoids making statements that he will have to remember at the end of the year, and can only repeat what he said at the presentation in A524, where it is “difficult to say an exact position as a goal for the world championship”, although the Frenchman would like to “see a good upward trend throughout the season, a good momentum.”
“Unfortunately, we started the season very weak. Now it depends on where we are at the end of the season, if we can improve the car,” he continued, although he is aware that what is necessary is to lay the foundations for the new technical regulations that will come into force from 2026. “We know that a rule change can be an opportunity to shake the balance of power. We will do everything possible to take advantage of this opportunity, we have to be prepared for it.”
Bruno Famin gives his opinion on the exodus of Alpine F1 personnel
With a completely different squad than what it had a few months ago, the team manager does not see it as a problem: “We have lost people, but we have also gained a lot. We have also promoted very good people internally, I am very satisfied” with the development of the team in the two headquarters in France and England.
