The post-Alonso Alpine is already rumbling

Alpine He will face the 2023 season with the aim of forgetting about a very complicated end of 2022 in terms of reliability and driver movement. They left first Fernando Alonso and when they announced Oscar Piastri in return, the Australian rejected their signing to go to McLaren.

As a result of all the chaos, the French chose to sign Pierre Gasley as a partner of Esteban Ocon. This is a couple that can give good results but to do so they must continue on the line of last year, where they were the best in the midfield. They are finalizing the details of the new car for a preseason that starts in just a few weeks. The engine has been started and they have published a video where you can see how it sounds.

The biggest step forward you should ever take Alpine it is in terms of reliability. Last year, Alonso suffered a lot of mechanical problems, especially related to the engine, which caused him to lose a lot of points. Without further ado, up to eight calendar events he had seizures unrelated to his driving. Ocon, too, has others, though to a lesser extent.

So Alpine’s goal is nothing more than to hunt down the big three: Ferrari, Red Bull and Mercedes. This is something that will be very difficult because the distance to the end of 2022 is still big, but the basis is good and there are no drastic changes in the regulations. The important thing is to press the right button.
