Alpine to run special pink livery from Las Vegas till season end

Alpine head into the final three races of the 2024 F1 season on a high after their double podium at the 2024 Sao Paulo Grand Prix, where Esteban Ocon finished second behind winner Max Verstappen while Pierre Gasly was third.

Ahead of this weekend's F1 race in Las Vegas, Alpine announced a fully pink livery for their car and said in a statement: "For the final three races of this 2024 season, we'll be running an all-pink livery in collaboration with our Title Partner BWT."

The team's driver previewed the upcoming race with Ocon saying: "We are heading back to Las Vegas for the second year, and I am really looking forward to it.

"We had a great result there last season, going from 16th on the grid to fourth at the chequered flag. The circuit is incredible to drive with all the drivers going flat out for a high percentage of each lap.

"Driving through the heart of the city is like no other. There are night races under the lights and then there is a night race under the lights of Las Vegas.

"The aim will be to keep the momentum going from São Paulo and maximise the weekend to hold our P6 position in the championship," Ocon concluded.

As for Gasly, he added: "It's really exciting to be heading back to Las Vegas. The championship battle remains close for P6 and we want to hold on to our position so we need to make sure we execute everything in the best possible way.

"We've proved that we can qualify well and fight for points in the races and that's our target in Las Vegas, Qatar and Abu Dhabi. It'll be a challenge, but the team have been exceptional and I really think we can do it.

"Last year we qualified well in Las Vegas, but the race was difficult for my side of the garage especially with tyre management. The late start time for the sessions and the colder weather makes it a complicated event for tyre warm-up which will be interesting again, but I must say, I had a lot of fun driving the circuit last year.

"I'm looking forward to more of the same this time and we have our eyes on another good performance," the Frenchman concluded.
