Alpine’s Executive Technical Director David Sanchez has detailed how the team are hoping to put themselves in a “competitive position” in 2025 and beyond as they look to continue improving on their car going forward.
The 2024 campaign began in disappointing fashion for the Enstone/Viry outfit, with Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly qualifying at the back of the field for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Their fortunes started to improve as the year progressed, and a number of top-10 finishes have put the squad in P8 of the constructors’ standings on 13 points. While Sanchez has acknowledged the positive changes that have happened, he also admitted that the team’s focus needs to be on how to build on and sustain this into the future.
“Lately we have managed to improve the car and improve our performance on track, but really the main question is how are we going to continue improving the team [and] the car so that we can be in a competitive position this year, next year, and especially from 2026 onwards,” Sanchez explained in an Alpine mid-season review.
