The team included the pilots Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon in his second year as an Alpine. Despite the results, the team announced that it would continue in Formula 1 in the future.
2023
In the 2023 Formula 1 season, Alpine faced several challenges, seeking to establish itself as a strong contender in the midfield. The team continued with its drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, who added experience and skill. Although they showed flashes of competitiveness, the performance of the A523 was inconsistent, preventing them from consistently fighting for podiums. The team was plagued by several reliability and strategy issues throughout the season. Despite this, Alpine maintained its goal of finishing in the top five in the constructors' championship.
2024
In the 2024 Formula 1 season, Alpine F1 Team underwent a significant transformation. After a difficult start, with just 14 points from the first 20 races, the team implemented strategic changes, including the addition of David Sánchez as Executive Technical Director and the return of Flavio Briatore as Executive Advisor. These adjustments culminated in a double podium at the Brazilian Grand Prix, with Esteban Ocon second and Pierre Gasly third, lifting Alpine to sixth place in the Constructors' Championship.
2025
The 2025 season proved to be one of Alpine's most difficult campaigns. Under new team principal Oliver Oakes, the squad fielded Pierre Gasly alongside rookie Jack Doohan in the A525 chassis. The car struggled for pace throughout the year, leaving Alpine at the foot of the midfield. Despite ongoing restructuring led by technical director David Sanchez, the team collected limited points as it focused on laying the foundation for a stronger 2026.
