Why Alpine’s 2024 F1 car is deceptive
- Posted by hudson on Feb 07, 2024
Alpine has launched a deceptively different 2024 car that needs to fire some life back into Renault’s stuttering works F1 programme.
With key weaknesses to overcome beyond the car limitations that made Alpine’s 2023 challenger inconsistent and only a sporadic nuisance to F1’s top teams, there’s a lot riding on the A524 and how some wider changes at Alpine will play out.
Alpine’s 2024 F1 car was launched alongside its Hypercar challenger for the World Endurance Championship in a more understated affair than last year’s extravagant reveal, which we hope will be a sign of Renault letting this team prioritise substance over style.
We’ve seen the car in render form AND up close at the launch itself, here's what we've learned.

8:50 A weakness that can't be fixed
