Alpine has decided who it doesn’t want to drive for it in 2025. But given it doesn’t feel it needs the services of Esteban Ocon, who does it want to sign?
Or perhaps the real question should, who can it sign? Alpine’s struggles so far in 2024 hardly make it an appealing destination except for those with a lack of options or drivers chasing their first big break.
With the majority of drivers already signed up for 2025, and Alpine already having turned its back on one of the best free agents in Ocon, it could face a battle.
00:00 Alpine's extensive problems
02:28 Gasly not yet guaranteed
03:45 The obvious choice
06:05 The in-house candidate
07:33 Who else?

You know what really gets me in this entire situation? A team who never properly settled their internal conflicts from the Renault era went on to pick one of the most conflictual drivers in existence to race for them, and now that everything's in the mud, Bruno Famin, team principal of Alpine, comes out and says they know what they're looking for in a driver - _Professionalism matters. We need professional drivers._ It's like I'm watching a company in a hiring spree. They want the best, while offering a mediocre environment for growth in the sport.

I wouldn't say Gasley is conflictual driver, at least looking to his past. I have long time felt like Ocon is poisoning team relations everywhere he goes. There aint many team mates that have good things to say about him, lets just leave it at that. Alpine seat should be considered more valuable though. It is still works team, although worst one at the moment and near future. I would rate it higher than Williams & Haas seats in longer run as there are not many non works teams that have won titles. Like mclaren dropped quite fast once Mercedes bought their own team. If i were Bottas I would definitely try to get that seat. Both driver and team are at the moment under-rated. Same reasoning why Sainz should go to Sauber. They will be works team, and I would expect serious boost in 2026. 28-29 they could easily be in frontend, which I don't expect from Williams. Audi can throw 200M a year for F1 and call it marketing expense, while Williams would have to find sponsors for that 200M or what ever the cost cap is.

Williams can improve because James Vowles is adamant and transparent about his long term plan to get the team to top spot. He is sacrificing short term goals to achieve that and focusing heavily on updating the infrastructure, which has been the key weakness of the team. He has also been working heavily on changing the whole culture around the team.

For now, Gasly-Doohan is the lineup, I assume, based on likelihood & status within the team, respectively. All that testing program Doohan has done this year would prove useless if he weren't going to get a drive anyway, especially since the sole purpose with such tests is to prepare for racing in F1, not to mention they'd risk losing him altogether, as happened with Piastri. Magnussen's days of being an F1 driver are clearly numbered, just like Sargeant's, so he'll almost certainly end up without a drive if/when he gets sacked by Haas again rather than get hired by any other team, & likewise, Zhou is very likely to end up without a drive for next season. As for Bottas, Williams & Haas are his only realistic options depending on Sainz & Ocon while staying put at Team Hinwill is indeed an outside chance if they fail to get either Sainz or Ocon.

Alpine needs to worry less about who is driving for them and more about who is managing the team and what the management structure looks like. Firing Laurent Rossi was a good move, but firing Cyril and Otmar was a mistake followed by a doubling down on a mistake.

Gasly’s a great driver, but he’ll lose his mind soon if Alpine continues performing like this, so I think he and Alpine would both be wise to move on from each other (Gasly to Sauber/Audi isn’t a bad idea, or HAAS either for that matter). What Alpine needs is two drivers that are hungry for the chance to driver in F1, are willing to put in hard work even if the payoff isn’t there in the short term, and who will work good together as a team. Those two drivers are Mick Schumacher and Jack Doohan.

The two drivers mentioned in this video who would properly appreciate the opportunity to drive for Alpine are Doohan and Lawson. Everyone else mentioned, Bottas included, would treat Alpine as a seat warmer until something better comes up. I personally hope Lawson gets it as I think Red Bull will keep Ricciardo, but I wouldn't be too mad if Doohan got it.

Sainz "seriously considered going to struggling Sauber" yeah but that is not even a comparison. Going to Sauber isn't about going to a struggling team, it's about what they struggling team is going to become. Alpine is a major constructor already and is doing worse than smaller teams. Sauber is a struggling smaller team about to become a much bigger player. Of all the teams that Sainz could sign for, Sauber is actually the strongest choice right now. Alpine, Williams & Haas have very little potential. And all the big teams are pretty much all off limits. It could all fail miserably granted, but with Audi's motorsport experience, I can't think of a better long term deal for Sainz to take.

Botas could do some good things in that car and I think long term is a better option than Williams or Haas. All three teams need help in the speed and aero departments that’s for sure. If Gasly stays perhaps they could use their development driver buy I’m not convinced that’s the right move right now.

The fact tha the team that gave Senna his debut, took Schumacher and Alonso to their first titles, and is now owned by the engine supplier who powered Williams to total dominance in the 90s, has fallen so far in 2024 that nobody wants to drive for them despite being one of only a handful of works teams is an indictment of how badly the team is being mismanaged right now. I think they - not Haas - now look likeliest to sell up to the highest bidder. And why not, the team's already rebranded so many times one more won't hurt.

PAL television is 25 Hz and double PAL is therefore 50 Hz. This was based on best compatibility with 50 Hz electricity. (Obviously that's not relevant in the age of streaming video, where the electricity frequency of CRTs is no longer relevant but 50 Hz is just as acceptable as 60 / 59.97 Hz IMO).
