Alpine sold by Renault? Racing team denies / Formula 1

The performance of the Alpine racing team in the first part of the 2024 Formula 1 World Championship is a complete disaster: The Blues are last in the World Championship without points, GP winners Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly have their hands full with people stubborn. car.

In addition, the team cannot rest when it comes to personnel: many long-term employees have left or been removed from their positions.

The 27-year-old Ocon, who finished eighth in the 2017 and 2022 World Championships, had an idea several months ago of what was about to happen: “When we drove the 2024 car around in the simulator, we realized that we had a lot of work. difficult before us.”

Obviously the question arises: How long does Renault want to watch this misery?

Rumors are spreading throughout the industry that the car maker is considering selling the Formula 1 racing team. Under the new owners, it is believed that Renault would only remain in the first tier as an engine manufacturer.

The racing team immediately responded with a firm denial: such rumors were false and the team was definitely not for sale.
