Alpine will be competitive in 2026, says Briatore

Flavio Briatore, the team’s official launcher for the new season, stated that he believes the team will be “competitive” in 2026.

Alpine conducted its first test at Silverstone on Wednesday this week, but the company only revealed its show car livery on Friday.

Briatore asserted, “I think Alpine will really shine again this year.”

He continued, “We are responsible for the car’s condition.” Building this car was simple for us. The budget was available.

Alpine deliberately avoided developing their car in 2025 so they could concentrate all of their resources on the one they created for the new regulations imposed on F1 this year.

It’s a great opportunity for our team, race driver Pierre Gasly said. There will be a lot to learn and probably adapt to.

A very successful shakedown was a welcome start. Although the conditions were quite extreme, the race went very smoothly, and it involved a lot of laps. a significant season milestone

“Last year was quite difficult, but we were able to dig in and do it put us in a much better position.”

Franco Colapinto, an Argentine who has spent part of his first full season with Williams in 2024 and Alpine in 2025, is the Frenchman’s partner.
