Alpine weighs its driver direction alongside Pierre Gasly
Alpine is still working through its options for 2026, with the seat alongside Pierre Gasly yet to be finalized. Team sources indicate discussions are active and multiple profiles remain in play as the Enstone squad shapes its long-term direction under the incoming regulations.
What's on the table
- A mix of experience and potential: the team is evaluating whether to pair Gasly with a seasoned benchmark or to back an emerging talent.
- Strategic timing: clarity is expected once the development cadence for 2026 power unit and chassis projects settles later in the year.
- Market pressure: many 2026 seats are already committed across the grid, narrowing the shortlist and compressing decision windows.
For Alpine, the choice will be about more than raw pace; leadership, feedback quality and alignment with the team's technical rebuild are all part of the calculus as it seeks stability and upward mobility under the new rules era.
