Their engines have been trash for years. Didn’t they also blow up at WEC?
I think it’s a good move and should let them focus on the car.

Imagine it's with RBPT!? Oh how turn tables!

Seeing the comments that the 2026 cars will only be a few seconds faster than F2 cars, and the FIA just dismissing it as something to be fixed in small details, is quite depressing.
Another job well done from the FIA. Starting with a bad foundation, and trying to dig themselves out of a hole.
Truly an organisation we can trust.

Yeah this website came up on my Google news feed. Read the article and blocked the site. Just nonsense
No issue with this myself. Just want entertaining racing. Not really worried how fast it is

This is a turn up for the books. We go from a Red bull team complaining that the Renault engine isn’t good enough. (Despite it helping them titles/races for a few years before hand…) and then dumping it, to using someone else’s, to wanting to make their own, to may be supplying Renault/Alpine with an engine… lol
What? To google! Nolan Siegel? Really? he's had a few chances in Indycar already and hasn't impressed as much as Theo has IMO, although he did race for McLaren, sorry, United Autosport at Le Mans and got the class victory. I guess this is more or less what pushed McLaren to act.

This will still be the wrong sport for that.
Maybe if we get them all in go karts on old tyres.
Just read about that myself...
He's only a executive adviser, so not any management role...
Absolutely agree with this. I'm sure Martin Brundle feels the same!
I don't care. He should have nothing to do with it or any other motorsport ever again. I hope that Alpine get a huge backlash over this disgrace.
Perhaps Alpine should go one step further, and hire that Dan Ticktum prat to drive. I'm sure he'd be more than willing to engage with Flav's ideas regarding deliberate crashes to force a safety car.
I believe the WEC one is French but not actually theirs? Never actually read into it but their car looked decent at Le Mans in the short time the engine worked.
It's Oreca really. I believe it's the LMP2 chassis underneath. Modified F2 Mechachrome engine too.
