After knocking on Red Bull's door (in vain) for the Red Bull Powertrains, Alpine are said to be pursuing a deal with Mercedes to supply power units from the 2026 season onwards. Flavio Briatore, Renault's former team boss, is reportedly already in negotiations with the German manufacturer on the matter. At least that is what F1 Insider reports.
