The A526 is the first Alpine-branded F1 car built around a Mercedes power unit and gearbox. For fans, the key is how well Enstone integrates that customer package: reliability, cooling, energy use and the ability to score with both cars reveal more than engine reputation on its own.
Pierre Gasly begins the year as the established reference inside Alpine, while Franco Colapinto brings a more recent route into the team. Compare their starting positions, race movement and points to separate the A526's underlying pace from weekends shaped by incidents or strategy.
The Alpine identity arrived in 2021, while the Enstone operation traces through Renault, Lotus and the Benetton team that won titles in the 1990s and 2000s. The move away from a Renault-built power unit makes 2026 one of the biggest technical breaks in that long lineage.
