In 2023, Alpine finished far behind the top five teams, which were all pretty equally matched (excluding Red Bull). The team's main goal in 2024 will be to catch up with them.

Hinting their plans to bring many upgrades, Alpine might have been inspired by McLaren's strategy last year. The Papaya team started the 2023 season far behind everyone,

However, how they designed their car allowed them to bring significant and very effective upgrades, resulting in a massive jump in performance to the point where McLaren almost challenged Red Bull for the win a couple of times. Could the French team replicate this formula during the upcoming season?
