Alpine will use Mercedes power units and gearbox when F1's new era of regulations begins in 2026. 

The "multi-year" agreement wi❀ll run through the duration of F1's new engine regulations between 2026 and 2030. 

A shor🌃t statement confirming the expected news added that Alpin𒉰e "remains focused on performing in the strongest way possible in the 2024 and 2025 seasons." 

Alpine will take the customer spot currently occupied by Aston Martin, who are switching to Honda power in 2026. McLaren and🌳 Williams are also supplied by Mercedes. ꦦ;

Renault 🥂announced in September that it will end its F1 engine programme after the conclusion of the 2025 season, leaving Alpine with no o♏ption but to buy a power unit from another manufacturer. 

The French manufacturer's engine facility Viry-Ch🌊atillon in Paris will be devoted to development of electric motor and battery technologies, as well as the company's remaining motorsport activities.

Renault has produced F1🔜 engines for 50 years since first entering the🔴 world championship in 1977. 

Alpine have endured a disappointing 2024 campaign but a shock double podium at the Sao Paulo Grand Prix lifted the team up to sixth place in the cons𝔍tructors' championship with three races remaining.
