Renault CEO Reaffirms Long-Term Alpine F1 Commitment

François Provost frames Gasly’s 2028 contract as proof of a stability-first reset.

Overview

  • Provost used his first paddock visit at Monza to state Renault is staying in Formula 1 for a long time with Alpine.
  • Alpine will end Renault’s in-house power unit effort and run Mercedes engines from 2026.
  • Renault reported a €11.2 billion first-half 2025 loss, including a €9.3 billion Nissan write-down, after which its shares fell as much as 18%.
  • Pierre Gasly is signed through 2028 and has scored all 20 of Alpine’s points this season, with the team last in the constructors’ standings after pausing 2025 development.
  • Steve Nielsen began as managing director on September 1 alongside executive adviser Flavio Briatore, reinforcing a leadership reshuffle.
