Alpine-Renault shines in Barcelona and takes the fourth row!

Is this still an effect? “Briatore” ?! Since its appointment at Alpine, the French team has continued to surprise on the track! More of a coincidence than anything else in terms of timing, the Italian was at least able to appreciate, with Luca de Meo at his side, the good performance of the two A524s since the start of the weekend. And a mind-blowing confirmation in qualifying: both cars reached Q3. Better still, they took the seventh and ninth fastest times.

We expected a difficult weekend, with no progress, but it was ultimately the best performance of the season so far! Alpine-Renault in the top 10 with all of its single-seaters, this is an unexpected result for this 2024 season. The 524 stands out in Barcelona by having the ease of playing with the biggest, since in the last four , she manages to sign the seventh beat as well as the ninth. With the penalty game, it is the fourth row that our Alpine-Renaults monopolize. All on a regular basis.

This ranking means a huge points opportunity this Sunday, and it is much needed in this tight fight in the second part of the constructors’ championship. Before that, this qualification can only be a boost of motivation for a team that has been so criticized in recent weeks, both for its performances on the track and some of its decisions. The presence of Luca de Meo, CEO of the Renault Group, here in Barcelona, ​​is there to remind us of the importance of the program, and the desire to move forward. With cars making progress, the message will be easier to get across.
