A household name in endurance racing circles, 'Mako' joins Alpine for the 2025 season. An elite driver for over 20 years, he brings unrivalled experience forged with prestigious teams. The Frenchman took the 24 Hours of Le Mans GTE Pro class win in 2022 before graduating to Hypercar racing. With four podium finishes in 2024 this peerless driver and developer has expertise, technical mastery and race craft to spare. His presence will be a significant asset in the Alpine A424's second campaign.

"I am extremely proud as a French driver. It's something special to represent a French manufacturer in the FIA World Endurance Championship with the possibility of aiming for an overall victory in the 24 Hours of Le Mans, especially as Alpine has a vibrant motorsport history. I truly liked the team's approach and development. Alpine improved and excelled in its first season against very tough competition. I'm joining humbly, but I want to contribute to the team significantly. Doing everything better than everyone else will be crucial if we are to get over the final hurdles, and I'm already looking forward to Qatar!"
