2024 Alpine F1 Team

[Foryster]

So... thats the end of 2024.

Who would have imagined finishing P6 after Bahrain and blooody slowest car.
The team did a good job to first... lose weight and then put some performance in the car.

The last races Alpine was clearly ahead from Williams / VCARB / Aston and Sauber and on pair with Haas (but with better race car in my opinion). So P6 is fully deserved!

Strategy was also much better second half of the season.

The most problematic are still Pitstops - much slower than competitors and Alpine was often loosing positions during boxes.

Still, there is a clear gap to top4 where the team was in 2022. I still don't get it what happened after that very good season.


But what about Doohan? That was the weakest debut I remember for a long time. Bearman / Colapinto / Lawson - they showed how to debut. What do you think?

You're right not a very strong showing. We'll see how he does next year.

Flavio wanted to throw him under the bus, cancel contract and hire Colapinto - rumors says-

He was driving Ocon's car that's an older spec in the last few races. Can't remember why , but the difference was obvious before Doohan.
