The Alpine A524 is a Formula One racing car designed and developed by the Alpine F1 Team competing in the 2024 Formula One World Championship.
It is the fourth Formula One car entered by Alpine since rebranding from Renault. The A524 is being driven by Esteban Ocon and Pierre Gasly, the former in his final season with the team, while reserve driver duties are handled by former Formula 2 driver and Alpine junior Jack Doohan.
It is widely considered to be a step down from its predecessor, and one of the least competitive cars on track.
Alpine unveiled the car at a launch event at their factory at Enstone on 7 February 2024.
It sported a mostly bare carbon livery, with streaks of blue and pink across the car. Two liveries were released, a traditional blue one and a pink one in partnership with title sponsors BWT. It originally sported little colour, but from pre-season testing onwards, a blue arrow was added across the front nose cone. The pink livery was unchanged. The car made its first appearance at the 2024 Bahrain Grand Prix.
The car's weaknesses were observed to be a lack of traction, a lack of downforce, and it being 11 kilograms heavier than the 798kg minimum. This extra weight came from an attempt to strengthen the monocoque, which had failed its lateral load test. A lighter chassis appeared at the Chinese Grand Prix.
