French manufacturer Renault has made it clear that its Alpine Formula 1 team will not be sold, despite receiving “offers left and right.”
The Enstone-based squad has endured a challenging start to the 2024 season, with its A524 car starting the season at the back of the grid and having scored just two points so far. Its struggles have prompted speculation that parent company Renault could look to offload it.
“We had been world champions with Red Bull but with hybrid, things went wrong. “Even the engine we developed in 2021 had a 0.2s to 0.5s disadvantage every lap. And this year we’ve screwed up with the car. If you combine everything, we’re up to 1.5s from where we need to be.” But he said that the team would do everything it could to move forward, as he explained that there were three key elements that were required. “The first is a quality team of top-notch people,” he said.
