“I’m glad to be here. I saw wonderful things and I’m glad to be part of the team” – Zinedine Zidanequoted by News.ro.

In 2023, Alpine will be represented by drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon and aim to finish 4th.

“We finished 5th, then 4th and, logically, we could have wanted more, but we know that the difference with the leading teams is big. The aim will be to finish 4th again, but with fewer eliminations. I know that Pierre and Esteban can do it” – Laurent Rossipresident of Alpine.

The 2023 Formula 1 season will begin with the Bahrain Grand Prix on March 5. Next comes the Grand Prix in Saudi Arabia (Jeddah – March 19) and Australia (Albert Park – April 2).
