The Alpine A524 is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by the BWT Alpine F1 Team for the 2024 Formula One World Championship. The car is currently being driven by Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon.
Design and development
The A524 was first revealed on 7 February 2024 alongside a special pink livery for the first eight races of the season.[2]
Season summary
The Alpine A524's performance on track compared to previous cars was immediately deemed to be lacking[3] at the Bahrain Grand Prix, locking out the last two places on the grid during qualifying and finishing seventeenth and eighteenth behind Valtteri Bottas, who had suffered a slow pit stop, and Logan Sargeant.[4] Alpine's woes continued into the Saudi Arabian Grand Prix with both drivers once again suffering a Q1 knockout with Ocon in seventeenth and Gasly eighteenth. While Gasly retired after the formation lap due to a gearbox problem, Ocon finished in thirteenth.[5] At the Australian Grand Prix, Ocon made it to Q2 but was only able to qualify in fifteenth, and Gasly was knocked out of Q1 once again in seventeenth. Gasly finished in thirteenth and Ocon sixteenth - last on track after George Russell retired, with Gasly receiving a five-second time penalty for crossing the pit exit line.[6] The Japanese Grand Prix saw Ocon qualify fifteenth once again with Gasly in seventeenth, with both drivers finishing fifteenth and sixteenth respectively.[7]
The first sprint weekend of the Chinese Grand Prix saw Gasly and Ocon qualify sixteenth and seventeenth respectively, with Ocon finishing thirteenth and Gasly fifteenth. Both Alpines made it into Q2 for qualifying for the main race, with Ocon, who qualified thirteenth, finishing eleventh and Gasly, who qualified fifteenth, finishing thirteenth.[8]
