Alpine announced new Hypertech center, will stop making F1 engines after 2025
Renault is done with making F1 engines, for now

Alpine's F1 team is about to change. Renault's Alpine performance and sports car division announced Hypertech Alpine, an engineering center that develops tech innovations and ultra-high-performance cars. Alpine will cease developing new engines for F1 race cars but reassign all affected personnel to new positions within Alpine Hypertech. The bottom line is that Alpine will no longer be an F1 engine supplier.
Why Alpine is  dropping out as an F1 engine supplier
Alpine did not explain why the company decided to cease F1 engine development. The decision may have been influenced by the new engine technical regulations that will change many aspects of F1 race cars beginning in 2026, including burning biofuel instead of petroleum fuels and increasing the electrical power contribution to the current F1 powertrain specification.

The Alpine Renault F1 team is in ninth place in Constructors'  Championship points at this writing. Still, this season's race record isn't as likely to be the cause of change as the company's focus shifts to specific innovations rather than devoting vast resources to F1 race cars.
