They legally can't. The FIA put new safety regulations about the roll hops for this season, so they can't use the 2023 car unless they completly redesign the entire cockpit sections of the car which at that point is counterproductive. I am 100% sure if there wasn't the change of safety regulation they would have used the 2023 car until they fixed the 2024 one.

Szafnauer was/is a really good team principal. He gave them fourth in 2022 despite the civil war between Fernando Alonso and le tueur de coéquipier (look it up), and in 2023, exactly what was he doing wrong? Sure, he was a horrid driver manager, but good elsewhere. I mean, he was team principal of Aston Martin back when they were Force India with a severely limited "budget" and still almost won two races!

dude the end sentence gave me actual chills. Your videos are amazing!!!

As much as Fernando departure from Alpine was kinda fault from Otmar, it's a also a fault from the upper management in that year since, iirc, they offered Fernando a one year contract in F1 + the following year in the WEC with Team Alpine whereas Fernando wanted a multi-year contract in F1 and that's exactly what Aston Martin gave him. But the Piastri thing was a masterpiece from both Piastri and his manager, one fella named Mark Webber which you may know him. Also, Alonso and Webber are friends so they may have all planned to leave Alpine in the dust between the three lmao.

Thanks for you great videos man they helped to revive My interest on F1 and ou are funny too jaja. Greetings from Uruguay!!

Alonso took the bait at mclaren in 2007. They hired him to have him in control hence all what they did to help Hamilton that season, thankfully that plan didnt worked out and Kimi got the championship. Crashgate is fishy stuff like Briatore did from time to time like when he was with Schumacher, Michael learned a lot of bad stuff from him. Thankfully Alonso didnt followed his path. It was so pointless, that car wasnt competitive to fight championship. It was all about Piquet and Briatore trying to keep Piquet in car another year. Second time in Mclaren didnt worked out because it was a team in decadence, most of the valuable people moved to mercedes before. Rules limiting any meaningfull development didnt helped either.

I think its the moment when u ahve to realise that maybe they were in the middle of nowhere because the car couldnt do more than that. Now after all the misleading management changes u can see that was before wasnt perfect, at least was something. Renault since a lot of time they were like...... im gonna just say "poop". They tried to rescue the team with the Alpine brand and now its flopping again.... What the hell are they doing at this point?

I think one of the main issues until recently (when f1 became big money) was a lack of commitment to a name, and even investment at all, constantly potentially pulling out of engines, teams, etc. and flubbing 2014 as well.

briatore's renault was a fucking menace to the paddock, that team was an engineering masterpiece. it is crazy how they fell off this hard

I’m surprised you didn’t include the Benetton days, they won championships with Schumacher and some GPs afterward. Because the team pretty much went straight to the trash right after Alonso’s second championship.

A ribby a day keeps depression away

Only thing they need is changing car color from pink n blue to Sky Blue n Yellow, add a V10 and a very young, talented driver Spanish driver along an italian one :D

I think you missed a few points, Alpine/Renault have been seriously underfunding their F1 team before and even after the Budget cap was introduced. And secondly Alpine cannot just let a team Principal run the team, they have to interfere and make BS decisions because of interfering executives who want results NOW, which as we all know (unless your Aston Martin or McLaren) Can't happen within 6 months. And from what Otmar has spoken in interviews they are still under funding the team by between 10-12mil.

Fernando didn't left alpine, he was bullied out by papa snufuafufauweger saying he was old, they didn't want to renew alonso contract, etc etc... so he (Alonso) reached out to AM. Now they are happy because the entire team is french and they are the worst team of 2024, a true happy ending for everyone!

Does anyone know the name of the song that plays in the beginning?

Alpine fan here. I will give my 2 cents, because i disagree with alot of what was said in this video, but i agree with the main point of it. Yes, our downfall was mainly a management problem. I also dont understand how one of the biggest car companies in the world is not able to produce a reliable and fast engine. I hope that in 2026 we will be atleast equal with the others. However, i dont lose the feeling that Otmar was responsible for alot of it. How is it, that since he came, the team became less competitive every year and we have lost two capable drivers since (which i blame also Rossi for) ? We were strong in 22, after Budkowski left. We lost two drivers (which i blame also Rossi for), became worse. And now look in the shit we‘re in. And i blame him for that too. Apparently they were working on the car since 22, so Otmar had to oversee most of the development. They too many risks with the new design, changed alot of parts. Has it helped ? It helped us being a mockery of an F1 team now. And it really hurts us Alpine fans. However: Its not Ocons and Gaslys fault. They are not best friends. But they are being professional about it - much l more than with Ocon and Alonso - and not terrorising each other on track. Im not sure where you got that from, because when they crashed each other, it was usually unlucky (could have crashed with anyone in Melbourne) or a simple racing incident like last week in Suzuka. And even if they had not crashed - we would still have ended up on P6 in the constructors ranking. Sure, firing Otmar mid season is a risky move. But im glad they did it. Bruno Famin is someone who is giving us Alpine fans some hope. He gives us the feeling that he knows how to turn things around. He is realistic and honest (i mean, after all Szafnauer and Rossi claimed we would be fighting with Merc and Ferrari last year, which was never true). He has changed and created alot of positions. I know there were alot of changes. But they all had to happen. So i do believe we will get back into the points and i do believe we will reach P6 again. Bur i hope for more next year.

Why did they change their banner to Alpine?

crazy to also think that schumi also won his first 2 world titles with this team. they suffer from a lack of investment and vision and it’s crazy. Essentially Lotus almost went bankrupt cause of kimi. then the team suffered for a couple years as it severely lacked investment. renault buys it and decides that it can win races on a smaller budget than the bigger teams. theyre solution to underinvestment was further underinvestment. they’re so smart. gotta love renault.

Where is that clip of alonso floating from, I can't find it anywhere

Love the vids keep it up

Keep in mind that Alpine can trace its roots to a Lotus team that nearly bankrupted itself by giving Kimi a 50k bonus for every point he scored. He scored 394 points in the two years he was at Lotus-Renault. It's not a team that has a history of sound upper management decision making.

You couldn’t script better symbolism than Ocon crashing out of carting trying to stay ahead of his teammate.

Bro i am BEGGING what do i gotta search to see the clip after 1:20 the meme potential is great
