Alpine F1 Team Nears Technical Partnership With Mercedes For 2025: Report
Hungarian Grand Prix: Alpine Formula 1 team is on the verge of striking a significant technical partnership with Mercedes that could revolutionise their competitive edge, possibly starting as early as 2025.
This potential collaboration marks a pivotal moment for the French manufacturer as it contemplates the future of its Renault works engine program amidst growing financial concerns.
According to Autosport report, Alpine has been scrutinising the cost-benefit ratio of continuing its investment in developing its own power unit. This internal debate intensified after rival Audi secured an exclusive technical partnership with BP and Castrol, Renault's current fuel and lubricants supplier. Amidst these uncertainties, new Alpine F1 advisor Flavio Briatore has emerged as a strong proponent of transitioning to a customer engine deal, arguing that such a move could be more advantageous for the team.
