It seems that the start of this championship has not been the best for the French team. Indeed, to be honest, objectively it was one of the worst, one of those departures that are better forgotten. The Alpine technical team withdraws after the flop of the Bahrain GP
Bad start for the French Alpine team. The team’s intentions were completely different and they were banking heavily on their return to Formula 1 after having had various failures in previous championships. According to the technical team, the new A524 single-seater should have been the battle horse of the French team. Among the predictions they had made, they believed that they could readily compete against the other contenders and also try to catch up with Red Bull, the undisputed winner of the Bahrain GP. Unfortunately, things didn’t go as they hoped and as a result the Alpine technical team had to withdraw after the flop in Bahrain. With this withdrawal they will review some technical problems they encountered during the first GP of 2024.
Many problems to solve after Alpine’s flop in Bahrain
The most serious thing that the team found was that the new single-seater, on which they had focused so much, even surpassed the minimum weight of 798 kg, which led to the single-seater being overtaken and overtaken by all its rivals on the track. So instead of racing head-to-head against Red Bull’s Verstappen, they essentially found themselves at the back of the pack. There are even many ways to solve these problems three different directors at the top of their respective departments. Let’s talk about Joe Burnellwho will be the new engineering technical director, David Wheeatr head of aerodynamics and Ciaron Pilbeam who will take care of the performance side. In other words, they are completely reorganizing every aspect of the single-seater, practically starting from scratch.
Really a terrible start for Alpine, let’s hope they manage to turn the situation around. Do you think they will make it? Tell us your opinion with a comment and continue to follow us on techgameworld.com for other news from the world of motors and much more.
