Alpine pulling out of Hypercar after 2026

As expected, Alpine is ending its Hypercar program after this year, although it is still making noises about staying in Formula 1 and not closing the Viry-Châtillon facility. I do not rule out the likelihood that they’re just sprucing it up to sell, though.

I would be sad about this, but Renault just seems to suck too much at management of motorsports programs, so I’ll get over their absence.
