Alpine drop driver in 2025

Ahead of the 2025 season Alpine have confirmed to Feeder Series that they are ending their relationship with one of their established drivers in the Alpine Academy - Victor Martins.

The Frenchman has competed in the past two Formula 2 seasons with ART, where he claimed a win in each year he drove in the series, one at Silverstone and the most recent at the 2024 Spanish Grand Prix.

Martins will once again drive for the F2 team in the 2025 season, but will do so without Alpine's backing for the first time since he re-joined the team back in 2021.

The young drivers that currently form Alpine's Academy in 2025 include Paul Aron, Ryō Hirakawa and Nina Gademan, the latter of which will take part in the 2025 F1 Academy season.
