Change is on the horizon at Alpine, as boss Bruno Famin prepares
to step down, and the Renault-owned team considers switching to
another manufacturer's power units.

Bruno tells Tom Clarkson why he is moving away from the F1 team
to focus on operations at Renault's engine factory in Viry, just
outside Paris. The factory has produced Renault F1 engines since
the 1970s, but staff have been told this project will stop ahead
of F1's new engine regulations in 2026. Bruno explains the
thinking behind that plan, the possibility of Alpine becoming a
Mercedes-powered customer team, and the alternative projects Viry
could work on in future.

Bruno also looks back on his year as Alpine Team Principal, the
arrivals of experienced engineer David Sanchez and former team
boss Flavio Briatore. Plus, Pierre Gasly's continuing
relationship with the team, and the departure of Esteban
Ocon.
