Alpine team boss Bruno Famin says the 'shock' of having the slowest Formula 1 car in 2024 further confirmed that changing its technical structure was the right thing to do.
Alpine was already braced for a low-key start to the season after a late concept change, which meant it had initially made a sideways step over the winter while its rival teams were full steam ahead with bringing improvements to their cars. But team principal Famin admitted the nature of its struggles in Bahrain were still a 'shock', with Alpine effectively the slowest team on the 2024 grid, which was also the case in Saudi Arabia.
I mean, changing the mindset, unleashing the creativity and having three technical directors makes the organisation much more horizontal, much less vertical. 'More activity, more agility, and really the motto is really to develop our people.'
