Overview
- Alpine confirmed Dunne will contest FIA Formula 2 with Rodin Motorsport carrying the Enstone team’s colours.
- Dunne said his target for 2026 is to fight for the F2 Drivers’ Championship after a rookie season that yielded fifth overall.
- Executive advisor Flavio Briatore praised Dunne’s F2 form and 2025 F1 FP1 outings, setting a clear objective to win the F2 title with Alpine’s trio.
- The Irish driver previously completed two FP1 sessions with McLaren and exited the Woking programme in October following limited F1 prospects, with a brief Helmut Marko-linked deal later called off.
- Dunne joins an Alpine roster that includes reserve Paul Aron, Kush Maini and Gabriele Mini, with Aron holding the superlicence points Dunne currently lacks.
