Alpine took a new step toward the 2026 season of Formula 1 by officially unveiling the A526 livery, the single-seater with which it will compete under the new technical regulations. The event took place on the shores of Barcelona, on board a cruise ship of the company MSC, one of the team's main sponsors.
The livery keeps the visual identity of recent years, with blue as the predominant color and pink details. After the presentation, the Enstone-based team released images of the car on its social media, where the main aesthetic features of the new model can be seen.
The presentation was attended by Franco Colapinto, Pierre Gasly and Flavio Briatore, one of the key figures of the project. The Italian executive highlighted the challenge posed by the new regulations and the alliance with Mercedes for the supply of the engine and gearbox.
"We are preparing for what will undoubtedly be a unique season in the history of Formula 1, especially for us with the new technical regulations, which offer us a blank sheet and a great opportunity to be more competitive than in previous campaigns", Briatore stated.
"It has been an intense few months at the Enstone factory preparing for the season, designing and creating the A526 together with Mercedes-AMG, which will supply the new engine and gearbox starting this season; a collaboration that excites us a great deal", the businessman commented.
