Alpine Criticized as “Disgraceful” and “Floundering”, Drivers Expected to Seek Exit

Alpine faces heavy criticism and a difficult situation midway through the 2024 Formula 1 season. The French team, who have been in the limelight with moments in the spotlight, are now the target of harsh words with comments such as “disgraceful”. “And ‘Tatar.'” comes from prominent sports characters. The situation is so critical that the team’s drivers Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly are expected to find a way out in search of new opportunities.

The Alpine team, which previously operated under the Renault name, has faced many difficulties this season. After a good start in previous years, Alb failed to maintain the same level of performance in 2024 as well. Former Force India team principal Otmar Safnauer was brought in to help develop the team, but his sudden departure has added further turmoil to an already volatile team. . situation.

The harshest criticism came from former Formula 1 driver and commentator Eddie Jordan. Jordan didn’t mince words when he described Alb as “disgraceful” and “misguided”. He expressed his frustration with team management and its inability to provide a competitive car for its drivers. Alp, once a team with potential, now sit at the bottom of the leaderboard with little sign of improvement.

The situation is made worse by the fact that Ocon and Gasly’s contracts expire this year. With the uncertainty surrounding Alpine’s future and the possibility of the team failing, drivers are understandably considering their options. Both Ocon and Gasly have the talent and ability to compete at the top of the standings, but their ability will largely depend on the equipment they receive from the team.

Meanwhile, the Alps continue to struggle to solve their problems. With the car underperforming and mounting pressure from pundits and specialist media, the team is struggling to rebuild its reputation and attract talent to its ranks.

But a miraculous turnaround seems unlikely in the current situation. If Alpine can’t fix its internal problems and provide its drivers with a competitive car, the team may continue to face criticism and lose talent to promising rivals.
