ENSTONE, England/ VIRY-CHATILLON, France—BWT Alpine Formula 1 Team launched their newest and updated challenger for the 2024 season Wednesday afternoon with a different change to their car. The use of sponsor’s pink livery, along with the regular blue, will continue to be used for this season. Changes included improved aerodynamics and black carbon fiber, which is evident in the car. Alpine will use the pink livery for the first eight races, followed by the regular blue for the remainder of the 16 rounds of the season.[/beautifulquote]
The A524 will return both French drivers, Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, hoping to improve from the team’s disappointing 2023 season, in which the team finished in sixth place. In addition, the team will mend damage from losing CEO Laurent Rossi, former team principal Otmat Sznafnauer, technical officer Pat Fry, and Alan Permane, who had been with the team for many seasons.
The newest addition to the team, Bruno Famin, believes it is the right time for Alpine.
It is a great moment for Alpine Motorsports to come together and officially present its programs for the 2024 season. It is certainly a unique moment to have both the A524 Formula 1 car and the A 424 Hypercar, along with all the drivers, in the same room as both projects prepare for what will undoubtedly be a busy and intense 2024 year.
Alpine is only one of a few teams working in two factories–the chassis and aerodynamics were developed in Enstone, England, and the engine was built in Viry-Chatillon, near Paris, France.
