Despite being looking for new investors to Alpine in Formula 1from the bosom of Renault Group They are very happy with the evolution of the team since its inception.
That’s how he explained it Luca de MeoCEO of the hue, at a brand event this Tuesday: “Two years ago, when Alpine was born, the Formula 1 team was not considered an asset at a general level in the company, but as an expense. It was one more line in the budget“.
The Italian was pleased above all with the exponential growth in terms of marketing: “In these two years things have changed, not only in the company in general, which is now a top-tier player as a car manufacturer, also in the racing program, which is really ambitious. Our team now has value at the level of the best.”
At the same time, strictly analyzing Alpine’s prospects in F1, De Meo does not stray from his original line and maintains that the team can be a candidate for the title from 100 races.
“We hope to be a title contender in 2026“, Said the head of the Renault Group, who hopes that with the new regulation they can become competitive and fight for the crown.
Perhaps this long-term vision collides with the aspirations and reality of Alonso: At 41 years old, waiting until 2026 borders on the unreal, so the project of Aston-Martin it can bring an earlier joy to the two-time champion. As they say in networks, “Fernando knows things.”
