Is Alpine’s controversial Mercedes switch the right choice?
Alpine has now confirmed that it will be taking on a supply of
Mercedes power units in 2026, reverting from the works team status
it had enjoyed. The decision to close the F1 project at Viry has
been met with criticism by workers there, although a small team
will remain committed to working on F1 matters, but Renault is set
to be out from the end of next season. It could be argued that
this finally provides the team with the one thing it has been
lacking in recent years, a clear plan. But we want to know what
you think! Let us know what your feelings on Alpine’s controversial
switch in the poll below!
