In the rollercoaster ride of F1, Alpine faced some ups and downs off the track in 2023. But fear not, because they’re revving up for a fresh start in 2024, aiming to bring more stability and speed to their game.

“I think generally we’re missing load at high speeds, which we know. We’re missing a bit of front grip at low speed compared to what I like. Missing a bit of ride,” said Pierre Gasly.

Gasly dropping hints about missing a bit of ride tells us the team is not just looking at aerodynamics but wants an all-around great-performing car.

With dreams of standing on the podium and leaving the middle-of-the-pack battles behind, Alpine is gearing up for 2024 with a plan.

Williams’ High-Speed Cornering Quest

In the previous F1 season, Williams had a standout moment in 2023 with their speedy moves on straight-line circuits like Monza. It’s like they had a turbo boost button for those tracks! However, in the twisty corners, things got a bit tricky for them.

New Identities for Alpha Tauri and Sauber

As Alpha Tauri transforms into Visa Cash App RB, they yearn for more than a B-team identity. A focus on aerodynamics, especially in straights, becomes pivotal for success.

Sauber, now known as Stake F1 Team, seeks reliability and overall improvement to surpass their 2023 P9 finish. Both teams underline the significance of aerodynamics in their pursuit of a competitive edge.

Haas Under New Leadership

Haas embark on a new chapter without Guenther Steiner at the helm. Under Ayao Komatsu’s leadership, they anticipate a challenging start, expecting to be the slowest in Bahrain. Realism sets in as Haas aims for P8 in the best-case scenario.
