Alpine has revealed its Formula One car.
The Alpine F1 Team has officially heralded its new era by virtually launching its first-ever entry into the FIA Formula One World Championship.
The A521 is an evolution of the R.S.20 which competed in the 2020 championship. In line with the regulatory changes agreed last year in response to the global pandemic, the main structural elements of the A521 are a carry-over from last season. However, Alpine have developed and improved every part that has not been homologated, especially the back of the car where additional changes to the Aerodynamic regulations were imposed by the FIA.
Alpine F1 Team's first challenger will be handed to drivers Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso. Fernando returns to Formula One following a two-year break, re-joining the outfit with which he claimed his two Formula One World Drivers’ Championships in 2005 and 2006.
Esteban - who enters his second year with the team - will look to build on a strong 2020 campaign which saw the 24-year old score his first ever podium in Formula One at the 2020 Sakhir Grand Prix. He begins his fourth full season in the sport since making his debut in August 2016.
