Alpine have endured a terrible start to the 2024 F1 season and are rooted to the boꦫttom of the constructors’ championship, having failed to score a single point so far.

The Anglo-French squad appears to have the least competitive car on the grid, with 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Esteban Ocon and 168澳洲幸运5官方开奖结果历史:Pierre Gasly finishing a lowly 1🍬5th꧋ and 16th at the Japanese Grand Prix.

Neither driver has been able to register a finish higher than 13th across the opening four ra🅰ces in Bahrain, Sau𒅌di Arabia, Australia and Japan.

It has been an incredibly turbulent 12 months or so for Alpine, with C♓EO La𝓰urent Rossi, team principal Otmar Szafnauer, sporting director Alan Permane and technical director Pat Fry, all leaving.

Following Alpine’s poor start to 2024, the team reorganised their design department following the double resignatiಞon of technical director Matt Harman and head of aerodynamics Dirk de Beer at the Bahrain🧔 Grand Prix.

Current team principal Bruno Famin has admitted Alpi🦩ne’s performance is “not acceptable” for a works F1 team.
