Alpine has revealed its driver combinations and its full livery for its second season of FIA World Endurance Championship competition with the A424 LMDh.

The French manufacturer had announced its roster of six drivers last November, including newcomers Frederic Makowiecki, moving over from Porsche Penske Motorsport, and Jules Gounon, who steps up from his previous reserve driver role.

Now it has confirmed that Makowiecki and Gounon will race the No. 36 car together with Mick Schumacher, who raced last year alongside the now-retired Nicolas Lapierre and Matthieu Vaxiviere in the A424’s debut season.

Meanwhile, Paul-Loup Chatin, Ferdinand Habsburg and Charles Milesi will pilot the sister No. 35 machine as part of an unchanged lineup.

Vaxiviere has been named as the team’s new reserve driver.

Alpine’s announcement follows a private test at Monza, where the full 2025 livery was shown having been partially revealed last week by way of a render.

This month’s Qatar 1812km season opener will mark Lapierre’s official debut in his new role as the team’s sporting director, although he spent the Bahrain season finale last year working on the pit wall alongside team principal Philippe Sinault following his decision to end his career following the previous race at Fuji.
