Alpine launched the new A522 in Paris with a notable absentee - the car itself. That’s because the real thing is being hastily assembled in Barcelona ahead of a filming day scheduled to take place on Tuesday - the day before the start of pre-season testing.
What Alpine did have was two show cars - one in its main livery with pink flashes that will be used for most of the year. But it also had a special pink BWT liveried car - what Alpine called a flipped version - that will be used for the first two races of the season.
Fortunately, Alpine did release a series of renders of the real 2022 design for us to look at, albeit one with some key details hidden and with all the usual caveats we have to attach to such images.

It’s interesting Danny Ric saw this team wasn’t going where he wanted. Aiming for at least 5th this season kind of reinforces that. I do miss Cyril though, I liked him.
Rumour is Cyril is going to get a job as the boss of Redbull Powertrains so he might be back around F1 soon.
Too early to call anything. Although I do question some of the leadership in Alpine, we'll see if the direction they take the team in is the right one.
They aim for better in 2024 if I recall correctly
Personally, I think it's a shame that Brivio, whose excellence showed in Suzuki's MotoGP team, seems to not have much power in Alpine's F1 team with his new "team spirit" role.
@@Gramps935 this is a joke, right? cyril going to red bull? It can't be true
First time in YEARS i could identify every car without their livery, I reckon.
It's very cool to see the unique designs. Often happens with new regulations. I think there were some distinct differences also in 2017 and 2019.
people with 0 idea of how to design a race car look at these cars and define them as fast or slow by how out of ordinary look lmao. Haas looked bland until today and after seeing their actual car at shakedown they instantly put haas on midfield lol. even the teams don't know wtf will happen chill guys
.... havent seen anyone determine how fast an f1 2022 by their looks yet.
@@osyk.8480 did you really not see how many people saying ferrari's design is either make or break?
No.. that's cause everyone thinks ferrari will be fast this season cause of their determination but doesn't say they will be.
I just realized in 2021 Lawrence Stroll doesn't want the Aston Martin car to have more pinks, then BWT goes to Alpine, and Alpine cars suddenly has more pinks and even has the pink livery. Gotta give credit to Lawrence, cause the pink would absolutely destroy the green Aston Matin.
That tells you BWT is probably a very wealthy sponsor to have. Wealthy enough to throw their weight around and make the cars pink lmao
@@Grooove_e hi Groooove.
Curious if there was some relationship between itmar and BWT
@@damarfadlan9251 Hello!
@@zarethd yea he was sacked like a couple of weeks ago and now AM has no pink. Otmar then goes to Alpine and they now have pink
It feels like Alpine has played very conservative honestly. Unless they found massive gains in the power unit I see them in 7-8th.
I'm a little more optimistic, they made some moves which have potential I say 6-7th. But really you want more from a works team.
Underpromise, overdeliver, that is El Plan😂

@@KevinJDildonik Haas guaranteed to be last? The car they showed today has been one of the most developed so far. They're definitely going to be fighting in the midfield...
@@vin483 Definitely not a white Ferrari. The sidepod inlets are a different shape than the Ferrari. It also doesn't have a sweeping section above the sidepods.
Yep. So much for EL PLAN
Yeah getting rid of people for a "culture of conservatism". What a joke. Can't believe a major F1 team sacking people for political leanings is a thing now. Leftist lunacy has infested renault now. Sad! Let's go, Brandon!
When it's time for my kid's gender reveal "You are watching the Aramco F1 2022 baby reveal series"
I really want to like alpine/Renault, but when you hear about the dysfunction within the organization it really makes you question them. Especially when you compare it with an organization like mercedes
@@redwithblackstripes really depends, it's like not having a movie being scripted that people are happy with so you just keep hiring on new people instead of letting the last person fix the errors. sometimes it is best to re-write but not always.
@@rickylafleur5823 Its a risk, but having the same people staying in place while oblivious of the errors is equally dangerous, even more because there is nobody to understand what is wrong. At the end of the day stability is best if you don't want change, hence why its perfect for a winning team or for building from the ground up, but you don't build upon something that have served its purpose, its a mean to an end not the other way around. Seems obvious to me that Alpine are trying to find the right persons to bring the team forward and i don't see how that would be a bad thing.
Mercedes is already a well oiled machine, Alpine have teething problems to deal with, I think they deserve a chance to work things out and make changes, then be judged on the targets they set when the time comes. Same with AMR, Sauber AR and Williams. Rome isn't built in a day.
The difference is Toto Wolff owns 35% of the Mercedes F1 team. He is responsible for it, and has a lot to gain or lose from it. As long as Wolff owns that 35%, he'll be Team Principal, which offers stability
The modest goals for a works team and that livery for the early season makes me look back at Force India. Say what you want about Mallya but the little team with no money did a hell of a job.
Mallya was hardly involved. As a fugitive who stole hundreds of millions from Indian banks he was far too busy trying to avoid extradition to be bothered about the F1 team. Bob Fernley, Otmar and Andy Green were the three incharge.
BWT really has a good amount of influence on their sponsored team's livery huh?
Must be spending $$$$$$$$$$
@@sz5876 And they sponsor tonnes of other motorsport categories too...
To be so big on the front-wing, sidepods and rear wing, they put a looooot of money there XD
Nice money that Alpine need for further improvement.
BWT is a water treatment company, why the fuck do they prefer pink? Since when is pink associated with water...
Interesting design. Sounds like management wise the team is as big a mess as the livery.
Yeah I was pretty pissed when they decided to let go of The Professor, they are going to miss his experience and calculating mind.
@@anydaynow01 amen, says something doesn't it?
Interesting. Alonso joins and management becomes a mess? 🤔
@@unthenner5519 interesting. DR jumped ship because things were so good.🤔 Renault were a mid field team for a long time. A great driver like Alonso highlights what needs changing if they want to move forward. But don’t let your bias get in the way. The truth has come out and everyone involved has moved on, yet you haven’t🤔.
@@seashackf1 he is probably referring to 2007 mclaren and the crashgate
Aiming for 5th, how ambitious 😂😭
Guys, it's time again... We are watching the ARAMCO 2022 F1 car reveal series
Ty, almost forgot
I get the feeling this might be a rough year for Alpine.
Missed the chance to rebrand the team 'Alpink'
didnt know pink was so aerodynamic XD
Certainly is fluid dynamic though.
The reverse livery looks so much like a Force India / Racing Point car don't be surprised if Ocon and Perez collide and take each other out.
Perez looking in his mirror and seeing Ocon in a BWT livery: *Sweats furiously*
Looking forward to how they do this year. Nice video. Keep up the good work.
I hope this team does well as we need another works team battling at the front.
One detail, every part of the car render has a high amount of polygons EXCEPT for the sidepods... that makes me think those aren't the final version.
It seems sort of like a cross between the McLaren and the Aston. Smart design.
And the livery looks like a cross between alpine and racing point. Bad design.
@@Varraz :D
Absolutely nothing like the Aston, only team to have gone for the undercut right through to the back... it's more a mix of Ferrari and Alpha Tauri... Mclaren's side pods have almost 0 undercut.
Yes because you know exactly how these fake brand new cars work before the first test.
@@Varraz yes. More like killer design.
Excellent videos and presentations. Thank you 🙏
I hope for their sake that they put significantly more effort into the power unit and actual car than the livery
as an aston fan im feeling better already
Was watching the reveal, i think both look really cool.
Last year Alpine had the best looking livery in the field. This year the car looks like a blue and pink Tide Pod.
I think best looking livery in 21 is a bit of a push. Renault as a brand looked much stronger out there. Alpine branding is considered pretty poor by most people outside of France.
The pink and Alpines electric blue just clash horribly. Then you have the softer shade of blue, it’s all just nonsense. Terrible looking car.
Good on Danny Ric, with the momentum that McLaren’s got relative to Alpine I think he made the right choice
Yet a another fascinating insight not only in the car but all the key structural changes within the Alpine team
Yall are crushing it with all these updates. 🤘
Alpine livery looks really good, can't wait to see some racing this year. Really hope the stewards and FIA blend themselves right into the background
I feel that the management is playing modest... They aim to slowly buildup towards the end and by next year fight at the front once the management gels altogether... I hope it works
wasnt that the plan last year
Shout out Aramco. Their colours make the F1 game look sick
Great video 🔥🔥
I find it baffling how a works team building its own engine can't nail chassis-engine integration?!
Also baffled as to how they can be pushing to get parts delivered on time when they had an extra year to design and build the car.
Agreed. What is really going on one has to wonder, maybe nothing, maybe something, the chassis-engine integration is inexcusable
I don't understand, what is your problem with the integration of chassis and engine? The design looks pretty clean to me.
@@VColossalVcar without engine-chassis integration is like run a marathon wearing slippers, either it's lack of performance or even stability. The so-called clean design is different part of the equation.
@@iancuk What exactly makes you believe they are having a problem integrating these things together.
@@VColossalV You didn't watch the video properly. Alpine CEO is quoted as admitting that they struggle in that area in the video.
I hate the BWT pink sponsorship: It’s tuned the most beautiful F1 livery in recent memory into plain fugly. Grrr!
I don't understand why FIA will implement engine freeze so early (during this year)? Trying to survive 3 years with bad engine can be too long.
Because Red Bull said they'd need it so they could build their own engines. But now Honda are building them anyway.
the aramco sponsor is great for your integrity
2:38 As the...WHAT??
Lol, that sounded really bad.
It's literally 2.30 am, but I can't sleep so yeah, let's watch Alpine's "car"
Damn the race is sponsored by Saudi
Ocon probably has to go to therapy because of this. The PTSD would be too real.
Their 2021 Alpine livery was really nice as compared to the blue/pink BWT.
Car looks really good though. I'd put the design on par with Aston Martin.
Shape of the airbox and side ducts are like those "squircle" on the Renault Twingo 3rd version.
Aston is somewhat radical compared to alpine, undercut on Aston is agressive and right above the Venturi tunnels. Alpine couldn't maintain that pressure on the tunnels since the undercut is big the entry of sidepods but subsides in the middle and pressure will be not the same
I think Matt Harman is the key introduction to the BWT Alpine F1 team in over a decade. He was arguably pivotal to Mercedes F1 success. I was very impressed with his presentation of the new car three days ago, and he will address the aero and split turbo hybird engine very quickly.
That main (blue) livery is sweet
i think this is the most simple and straight design of 2022 cars i hope this car are can made we all suprise
Esteban and Fernando in the Alpine again? Yes!!
Looking forward to an interesting season in 2022? Hell yeah!
The pinkish BWT logo on the car? Please nooo...
Good luck boys!
What is the song in the background? It’s awesome.
I'm lovin' all the fish gills this season! They make sick look ill!
I really like the blue with pink accents.
Baskin robins f1 team🙌🏻🙌🏻
Thought it looked okay, but the more I see the '21 car, the worse this looks. I like the combo of pink and blue (loved the RP19 with the SportPesa metallic blue), but they really need to ditch every red elements (Mapfre thing, Alpine pattern at the back) because red and pink really isn't easy on the eyes. Hope it's at least fast.
Imagine if Castrol imposed its green lol
Im still a Red Bull guy, but good lord Alpine is looking to potentially be a decent team this season. This new season and their cars / teams is getting better and better each day.
What car reveel series am I watching again? I can't seem to remember :(
nice to see racing point is back in its pink livery... wait this is alpine?
Imagine if they stayed as Renault and got the BWT sponsorship
If I have to hear Aramco one more bloody time...
Nice
Not playing safe “we’re aiming for fifth”
"we're aiming to beat an energy drink company's academy team again"
I wonder if there's a link between bwt and otmar
I think the livery is well made trying to mix with blue and pink
I think it looks great. I hope it's fast.

Alpine looking strong for new season 👀
that BWT pink really does ruin liveries
A lot can be done with those sidepods. Good thing!
ngl the alpine look fire
Here we are
Great livery ruined by BWT needing so much real estate. Their text is already blue they could've easily used white or red to compliment both Alpine and BWT. Or leave the wings black with the Alpine text and keep the rest of the BWT. If I didn't know better I wouldn't even know this was an Alpine and the brand wouldn't even be advertised to me.
both liveries ae half assed which i really did not expect from sean bull, he makes amazing designs but these seem rushed ( might be because of late bwt deal ). the pink livery looks more complete and overall better imo, their regular livery is the worst on the grid so far and alfa romeo usually makes fine liveries
I mean I love Renault/Alpine, but they did a similar trash livery in that jarring ING orange on yellow. Pink and red has a similar clashing effect.
Otmar getting a spot on a better team? Ohhhh YES!
@@fiarandompenaltygeneratorm5044 I think he's got a fun personality in the media and that's why I'm happy for him, but yes it seems like the team's executives have a solid strategy of changing the personnel too often for any sort of true "team" structure to develop
Seems it may make a surprise
I just have a feeling that Alpine is coming 8th in constructors this year
It’s so weird to see Alpine as the new “Pink Panther”.
I just imagined that theme playing with Alonso walking out in an all pink suit and it might be the greatest thing I need to see happen.
Ocon is destined to be in the pink car :D
What's the Cocke bottle area?
So it’s alpine-racing point force India-Renault?
Maybe not but that’s what it looks like
So alpine is racing point now?
Andretti secretly working with Alpine for liveries. See Alexander Rossi's INDYCAR livery for 2022
@The Race sorry this is Long but I suck at explaining and I am super passionate and fascinated with racing in every way. So idk if you’ll see this but if you do, and if you have time I have a question/analysis. I’m no expert, but to me it seems like the 2022 cars kinda fall into 3 category’s aerodynamic wise. For example you have the Aston which the design seems more downforce less drag reducted focused then say the McLaren which seems more slick or drag reduction based. I know they both won’t be completely one sided but more reliant on one preference then the other. And then you have the third category which teams like Ferrari and Mercedes which seem be a compromise or hybrid design. Where there not trying to be great at downforce or great straight line speed/drag reduction and good at the reverse of there design. (Aston will still have good straight line and McLaren downforce obviously.) Teams like Ferrari and Mercedes seem to try to be 8/10 and 8 or 9/10 at both. To put it sort of simply aston is trying to be 10/10 at downforce and 7/10 at drag reduction. Where as McLaren design is more 10/10 at drag reduction and 7/10 at downforce. Is this assumption somewhat in lamens terms somewhat accurate?
Otmar Szafnauer :
"And now for my next trick, I shall make Esteban Ocon disappear…again”
Apparently Prost wasn't consulted about Ocon's contract extension. Go figure. Meanwhile, I think Marcin Bukowski did a good job myself. I don't get the Alpine politics.
@@TassieLorenzo
Current Alpine CEO think they were playing safe for to long, being very traditional team. He wants to change things and risk for the sake of better performance and not reliability, which makes sense because once engine freeze is in place, they will have plenty of time to work on reliability, because those changes will be allowed on the engine.
Powered by journalists blood.
coach greg, is that you. Swolonso has been using your anabolic cookbook so he can win the wdc in 2022.
The blue and pink are a cool livery. The sport needs Renault to have a good season. Who would supply Andretti? Honda?
Either Honda or Renault...
Mercedes and Ferrari aren't a possibility as far as i know.
Honda is hardly gonna happen too, since they left F1, Andretti would have to do some shady stuff to get to Honda through Red Bull...
So yeah, Renault is the most obvious solution
It can’t be Honda as they have left the sport. Would a Ford return be unthinkable at this point?
@@ElementsMMA doubt Ford would want to have anything to do with F1 at this point...
So much catching up to do, i feel like they'd be the new 2015-2017 Honda and the GP2 engine...
Maybe when we enter a genuinely new era with completely new engines
There's also Audi/Porsche
@@lucatarolli7950 thats still a bit of a "what if" idea...
Its still not completely clear whether VW(Audi/Porsche) will come into the sport, still lots of things they need to find mutual agreement on with the FIA
We are focussing on who has got the new regs right, but there is a chance someone has made a total balls up of them and will be way off the pace.
That’s going to be Alpine and possibly Mclaren and Williams. The biggest strides forward are undoubtedly being made by Ferrari and Alfa Romeo, maybe extending to Haas too.
Ocon x BWT sponsor
*Force India vibes*
I noticed on the front shot that the renders are of a low poly model and thought it strange, surely all the teams would just use high fidelity models to look the best as they have them from CAD anyway?
The thing is, I was part of the people who really liked Alpine's livery last year, and I really like the design and the shape of the car this year.
But man, that has got to be one of the ugliest liveries I've ever seen. It's like Alpine tried to bring back the livery from last year but someone spilt Pepto-Bismol all over it and they didn't bother cleaning it up.
I don't know why people are hating the livery just because it's pink. Personally, I think the BWT pink and Alpine blue colours meld great together since the BWT logo is also blue. Better than pink with green that's for sure.
BWT has an ugly logo as well
Completely agree👏
For me it's the red Mapre logo that looks jarring. The car looks stunning from the front and unbalanced from the sides compared to last year's design
I think it's a step up over last year!
I don't hate it because it's pink, I hate it because it looks the BWT branding and colours have just been hastily shoe-horned in at the last minute, like it's an afterthought. It's so clunkily done, it looks like two half liveries, rather than one.
The car looks good.
The show car is much better than the flipped version
Brivio probably working with potential new entries like Andretti. Alpine badly need another car using their engine. We'll see what happens.
Otmar and BWT coming on board at the same time doesn't feel like a coincidence, doesn't it?
Not meeting the demand of Allan Post, who was a Formula 1 World Driving Champion during one of, if not the most competitive era of Formula 1 is a poor move that has resulted in the loss of his input to the Alpine team. Alpine's Formula 1 engine has lacked power and the loss of input from Allan Prost can only aggravate this matter. Alpine has been a good team and I would like to see them become more competitive, this decision puzzles me and leaves much to be desired.
This car seems like the epitome of playing it safe.
It seems like, not knowing what development direction to take, they took them all. The sidepods are large, but not really large, and the hood is large as well because, why not? It has a double bottom, but not really. It has cooling slits on the sidepods but on the hood too, it has a short wheelbase, but ready to be stretched...
Do you guys have a music playlist that you use for your videos? I would definitely love to see it.
