Alpine’s Executive Technical Director David Sanchez has set out the key objectives that the team will be focused on during the second half of 2024, with the squad having endured mixed fortunes across the first 14 races of the season.
The year so far has been an eventful one for Alpine both on and off the track; as well as facing several changes in their leadership and technical structures, the Enstone operation have also experienced a lack of consistency in their results.
HALF TERM REPORT: Alpine – Another topsy-turvy year, but are the building blocks to stability finally in place?
While there have been highs – such as scoring double points at Rounds 9 and 10 in Canada and Spain respectively – there have also been lows, which included qualifying at the back of the field for the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix.
Now, with the upcoming Dutch Grand Prix set to kick off the final 10 races of the campaign, Sanchez says that Alpine will be aiming to build a more consistent level of performance in order to boost their points tally, which currently stands at 11 points in P8 of the constructors’ standings.
“Looking at how we finished the first half of the season, now naturally for the second half, our objective will be to try and settle on the high side of our performance level, which is trying to consistently enter Q3 in qualifying,” Sanchez explained in an Alpine mid-season review.
