Alpine will cease producing Formula 1 power units at the end of next season, choosing not to participate in the next regulatory cycle. However, the team will remain in the sport.
On Monday, Alpine and the Renault Group announced several changes to their Viry-Châtillon infrastructure, including the establishment of the Hypertech Alpine – a new long-term engineering center.
In terms of F1, engine development will continue through 2025, but after an independent review and discussions with staff representatives, the decision was made to create a monitoring unit aimed at preserving the knowledge and skills acquired.
Meanwhile, the Renault Group will continue operating other programs at Viry-Châtillon, such as the World Endurance Championship (WEC), Formula E, off-road racing, and customer racing. The site will also host the development of the future Alpine Supercar and be responsible for short- and medium-term battery development for Alpine’s sports cars.
Furthermore, the Hypertech Alpine center will focus on research and advanced engineering in new electric motor technologies, in collaboration with Ampere.
