Or is it this one?
Is this the away kitOr is it this one?
Just saw this: Alpine will run the pink version of the A522 for the first two races of the season to celebrate the new partnership with BWT
Both don't look that great IMO the contrast in the pink and blue doesn't work. Interesting looks like they've gone a different route with the sidepods and the mid-rear section.
Certainly looks like they have rolled the dice.
If it’s the blue one, that car is beautiful.
It will be after a few races. I'm liking it also.
Pink and blue shouldnt work together but it doesn't look half bad that car.
That blue Alpine looks better than I expected. Not bad at all. Not a patch on the Aston or the Ferrari though.
Haas are still very much the standout ugly ducklings on the grid.
That Alpine looks lovely. Can't root for them now they've appointed that Otmar plum as team principal though.

Split opinion on the Alpine livery it seems. This looks like a super interesting aero design to me. Going to be super interesting.
Video of McLaren on track with some good shots at certain parts - this colour really stands out like a fluorescent matt papaya paint. Imagine DC bearing down on you on the straight if they get their braking to his liking this year.
I'm loving the stance of these cars.
I like it a lot. Really nice colors.
It's beyond tedious two months ago and it's beyond tedious now, i got over the loss against Portsmouth earlier than this ffs..
There is some deserved righteous indignation but mostly descends into a circlejerk of F1 is not fair anymore by Hamilton fans. It was never fair in the first place and it's all the more bizzare from Hamilton fans after winning like gazillion titles in a row. Hamilton lost the title due to consistently terrible decisions by his team, terrific team strategy by Red bull, amazing driving by verstappen and the feck up by the race director. All we hear is brake check. In an year fluctuation may come to believe that Hamilton actually won 2021 championship.
Read through some F1 forums and didn't see such vehement backing for Hamilton elsewhere but maybe I'm looking at the wrong places. Hope the season starts and we just get new topics. I hope the new season is competitive and Hamilton winning it would be superb from a meltdown perspective
False equivalence comparing with a Portsmouth result. You should compare with the Serie A match fixing scandal.
You are missing the point if you believe the indignation is because Hamilton lost out. The continued indignation is because F1 lost out.
As for how the outcome happened last year, what you attribute it to is wholly inaccurate. Both drivers were level, with Hamilton pulling away in the final race despite other questionable decisions from the race director earlier in the season. The single largest factor that decided last year was Masi. Nothing else.
For this year you seem to care more about the outcome causing a "meltdown" rather than the best team / driver winning fair and square. That about sums you up. Your post sounds more like a "Drive to survive fan" than an F1 fan.
Too long didn't read
I wonder when Netflix will tell it's viewers that F1 already had fans before they came up with the "meltdown perspective".
Will let you know as soon as I get the memo from Netflix.
Its a forum, different views of the subject are allowed. You dont like it then ignore it. The most controversial decision in F1's entire history will certainly be discussed again and again. It makes the sport look bad, it puts an asterix against verstappen's title and it has robbed us all of seeing schmachers 7 world championship titles record being broken (for now).
I don't see any Asterix or obelix against verstappens title
Well it's kinda funny to poke those fans who are obviously delusional and than step back and laugh for the day.
Every fecking car is blue these days - does my head in.
So we essentially have the dodgy Force India back on the grid
I said before that the cars we see on launch day 99% of them will not be the car we see on the first race.What's the point of releasing renders when the actual car is so different?
Now I can see the reasons why, its on of the reasons I dont really take much notice.
Even in testing you wont see 100% the season race car.
Agree. It's always been like this too. Why spend all your energy and money to develope something just to release 4k videos for the competition to copy it... We won't know what's what until Bahrain.
I quite like it.
Going to be interesting to see if it works.
I agree, first race should be the first time you see a 100% car.
Hi Christen Horner welcome to our forum.
Maybe he should ask for a name change as well as stagnation0161 would be a more fitting name for him, it's nearly 3 months he's going on about the same topic never changing.
Yes, we should just forget corruption and move on. Enjoy the show.
Considering the FIA have just changed the whole structure and the rules (last week) following last seasons cluster feck. I'd say it's a pretty big topic for F1.
Your post was longer
The Masi/FIA news is new. Do you not think people should talk about it?
You act like new cars are being unveiled and out of nowhere, everyone just started moaning about last season. This isn’t what happened. FIA moved on the guy who made the decision this week. During Ferrari show, which is was them I’d be a little pissed. Off course it should be a talking point.
Move on man it’s a sport you are stuck in an endless loop for 3 months, You are constantly regurgitating the same info over and over again, it’s not going to change what happened.
