The upda🔜ted colour scheme reflects Alpine’s new title sponsorship with Austrian water company BWT, whose pink colour and b🐲randing has been incorporated onto the design of the brand new A522. 

Alpine presented its new livery on a showcar as its actual 2022 car is in Barcelona ahead of a shakedown run on Tuesday, one day prior to the staওrt of the first pre-season test. 

The team will be known officially as BWT Alpine F1 Team as part of the strategic𝄹, long-t🧸erm collaboration. 

Alpine’s A522 will be power💙ed by an all-new engine featuring a split-turbo that has been developed by Renault amid the Frenc🌠h manufacturer’s push for increased performance in its bid to move closer to the front of the grid. 

Renault has lagged behind its💫 fellow F1 power unit manufacturers in recent years but is hoping the change of concept and newly-developed engine can help it find extra gains to plug the gap. 

The Enstone-based outfit is looking to improve on its fifth-place♕d finish in the 2021 constructors’ championship. 

Esteban Ocon claimed the team’s first F1 victory since its return🃏 to 🐻the sport as a full works outfit with a shock win at the Hungaroring, while teammate Fernando Alonso also stood on the podium in Qatar. 

Although the driver line-up remains unchanged for 2022, there have been several high🌠-profile changes as part of a senior management restructure over the winter. 

Former Aston Martin boss𓃲 Otmar Szafnauer has been appointed Alpine’s new team principal, while non-executive director Alain Prost and executive director Marcin Budkowski have both departed.
