The two drivers, under the leadership of Executive Advisor Flavio Briatore and Managing Director Steve Nielsen and piloting the revolutionary Alpine A526, are driving forward the team's charge during a highly competitive Formula One season. The team operates out of its Enstone factory in Oxfordshire, United Kingdom, where it has been based since 1992, in its previous guises as Benetton Formula, Renault F1 Team and Lotus F1 Team. Enstone has a winning legacy with seven Formula One World Championships including the Drivers’ World Championship [1994, 1995, 2005 and 2006] with Michael Schumacher and Fernando Alonso, and the Constructors’ World Championship [1995, 2005 and 2006]. The team’s 2026 car, the A526, is designed and built on-site with the 1000-strong workforce working hard towards the new opportunities presented in the 24-race season. For more information, please head to www.alpinef1.com Alpine, a brand born from racing Alpine’s history dates back to 1955 when Jean Rédélé, a young man passionate about competition, formed the automotive brand. Fast forward nearly 70 years, and Alpine is now at the forefront of motor racing, competing alongside the elite in the FIA Formula 1 World Championship and the World Endurance Championship as well as many other motorsport disciplines. The original A110 road car was introduced in 1962 and, by the early 1970s, Alpine was a major force in topflight rally competition. In 1971, Alpine took the three steps on the podium of the world-famous Rallye Monte Carlo for the first time and later again in 1973. The company went on to win the World Rally Championship Manufacturers’ title later that year. Alpine achieved one of its most famous motorsport triumphs in 1978; overall victory at the 24 Hours of Le Mans. Filled with this racing passion and savoir-faire, the brand continued to release new and innovative road cars throughout the 70s and 80s, including the A310 V6 and the GTA. As soon as Alpine's relaunch in 2012 was announced, a competition programme was born to develop the brand's awareness. This commitment was underlined in endurance racing, which has enjoyed numerous successes on international circuits. Fast forward to 2021 and Alpine took its very first steps into the elite realms of Formula 1, after Luca de Meo announced the company’s decision to enter the series as the rebranded Alpine F1 Team. In 2024, the brand is reiterating its commitment to Formula 1, Endurance, Rally, Cup, GT and the SimRacing sphere through Esports. A busy calendar for 2024, punctuated by the FIA Formula 1 World Championship, the World Endurance Championship, the FFSA GT4 European Series, FFSA Championnat de France GT, the Championnat de France FFSA des Rallyes, but also by customer competitions organised by the brand, such as the Alpine Elf Rally Trophy on the road and the Alpine Elf Europa Cup on the track.
