F1: Gasly-Ocon, Alpine prepares for the thunderclap

At the end of their contract at the end of the season, Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon could decide not to continue the adventure with Alpine due to the poor performance of the French team and the possible challenges that could be offered to them. Within the French team, we are preparing for the potential departures of the two drivers.

Bad student at the start of the season, Alpine continues to disappoint. The poor performances of the French team could lead to the loss of one of its two drivers, or even both! At the end of the contract, Esteban Ocon is often sent home Mercedes but it could also become an avenue for Audi. It’s the same for Pierre Gaslyannounced only from the side of the four-ring stable. Bruno Famin acknowledges being attentive to the market so as not to be caught off guard.

“We have a project that doesn’t need to convince them”

« We talk to them regularly. Let’s see what we can do in the future. There are ups and downs, we are in a difficult period but we have a strong project with a long-term vision. We have a good strong point for 2026: we are a manufacturer, we are developing our own engine – which is on track, we can optimize everything. We have a project that doesn’t need to convince them [de rester]. I would like to take this opportunity to thank them. We are in a difficult situation “, declared the director ofAlpine in comments relayed by Nextgen-Autobefore providing some details.

“We are ready to react in case something happens”

« We also look at the market and we also have our academy where we develop the talents of tomorrow or the future. We have Jack Doohan who is our reserve, Victor Martins in F2. We have a wide range of possibilities. We are happy with Esteban, happy with Pierre – but we are ready to react in case something happens. It’s like that. We’re in no rush at the moment, to be frank. We have other problems to solve, other things to improve, and we are in no hurry. We are ready, we are prepared to react but we are in no hurry “, added Bruno Famin.
