Formula 1 Cars 2023 Reveal: When Will Alpine Release Their Car?

2022 was a big year for Alpine. They spent the majority of the season locked in a battle for P4 alongside McLaren, and to the delight of everyone at the Enstone-based squad, they came out on top.

One of Alpine’s biggest strengths in 2022 was the consistency shown by their drivers Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon. At times, reliability issues frustrated them but they still managed to overcome McLaren’s challenge. However, their battles with McLaren were not limited to the track.

When McLaren came swooping in for Alpine’s reserve driver Oscar Piastri, the two teams were engaged in a legal battle. Unfortunately for the French team, this went in favor of the papaya outfit.

Regardless, alpine will be looking to build on their impressive fourth place finish heading into the upcoming campaign, and they will be doing so with a new driver pairing of Pierre Gasly and Esteban Ocon.

Pierre Gasly ready for new challenge in career

Gasly made his F1 debut back in 2017 with Toro Rosso, Red Bull’s sister team. Since then, he spent the entirety of his career with the Red Bull family, but struggled to break into the Milton-Keynes-based outfit. He was impressive with Toro Rosso (then AlphaTauri) but he had to move to a bigger team when it became clear that Red Bull were not going to promote him anymore.

When Alonso revealed that he would switch to Aston Martin in 2023 and Piastri decided to snub Alpine, Gasly did not let go of the chance to represent a team from his home country.
