Alpine building foundations for F1 success, says Renault boss

Renault's CEO, Francois Provost, has shifted focus from long-term goals to stabilizing Alpine's Formula One team, which currently ranks sixth in the constructors' championship. Previously, Alpine had ambitious plans to return to the top within three to ten years, but these have been put aside in favor of immediate improvements. The team, now using Mercedes engines after ending its own engine production, aims for a minimum sixth-place finish this season before setting new ambitions. Provost emphasized the need to establish a strong foundation, citing progress in both performance and sponsorship areas. Alpine's ownership structure includes a 24% stake held by an investor group, which Renault is considering selling.
