BWT Alpine F1® Team
Castrol has been an integral partner of the team since 2017, powering them to wins and podiums in the pinnacle of single-seater racing.
Formula 1 is the ultimate proving ground
Fiercely contested among the world’s best racing drivers, car designers, engineers and automotive giants, it is the iconic pinnacle of international motorsport.
It is why manufacturers identify it as the perfect arena to demonstrate technical innovation. In 2024, BWT Alpine F1® Team has retained its fantastic all French team with drivers Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon.
The pursuit of excellence is the inspiration behind Castrol’s partnership with BWT Alpine F1® Team. Together we strive to win against the toughest opposition.
The world’s most efficient hybrid engines
Only four 1600cc turbo-charged hybrid units may be used by each car per 24-race season, while the internal combustion units rev to 15,000rpm and produce more than 700bhp. This also makes the power units the most efficient hybrids in the world.
So, in an environment where success and failure are measured in milliseconds, marginal gains are critical.
Castrol and BWT Alpine F1® Team
Castrol has a team of dedicated engineers embedded in the BWT Alpine F1® Team. They work in partnership with the engineers to blend bespoke ultra-low viscosity lubricants, such as Castrol EDGE, which must be strong enough to protect these engines from the phenomenal forces at work while reducing the friction that saps crucial power.
But once the oil is deployed in the A524, Castrol’s mobile trackside support continues its work analysing its performance, monitoring quality control and the health of the Renault E-Tech power unit’s components.
This insight allows us to develop lubricants for your car whilst proudly assisting BWT Alpine F1® Team in its quest to be among the best-performing teams on the grid.
