The announcement of its participation in the WEC final was made this Friday, October 4. He will replace Nicolas Lapierre, who has hung up his helmet.

With the departure of Nicolas Lapierre for a position as sports director at Alpine, a place becomes available within the line-up of the French team.

Quid de Mick Schumacher ?
The decision has not yet been made internally, Philippe Sinault being in discussions with his men. But with the departure of Nicolas Lapierre, it seems logical that Jules Gounon takes his place. Especially since he has the trust of his superiors and has shown his abilities this season.
Another Alpine member is doubtful for next year. Mick Schumacher still wants Formula 1, having driven two seasons for Haas. Philippe Sinault indicated that he was not sure if he would still see the German in blue next year, but that he was doing everything possible to keep him.
