Alpine to Partner with Mercedes for F1 Engines from 2026

The struggling Alpine team will switch from Renault to Mercedes engines and gearboxes as new regulations take effect.

Alpine will cease producing its own Formula 1 engines, opting instead for Mercedes power units and gearboxes from 2026 to 2030.
This decision follows Renault's announcement to halt F1 engine manufacturing at Viry-Chatillon, redirecting focus towards engineering and innovation projects.
The move marks the end of a nearly 50-year history of Renault engines in Formula 1, as Alpine looks to cut costs and improve competitiveness.
Alpine recently achieved a surprise double podium in Brazil, boosting its position to sixth in the constructors' standings during a challenging season.
The team aims to maintain strong performance in the upcoming 2024 and 2025 seasons before the Mercedes partnership begins.
