Alpine A522

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

There were reports that the car is to be ready only in Bahrain and now only an engine test

Where?
"...and there, very much in flames, is Jacques Laffite's Ligier. That's obviously a turbo blaze, and of course, Laffite will be able to see that conflagration in his mirrors... he is coolly parking the car somewhere safe." Murray Walker, San Marino 1985

we are waiting for photos from the track
Exactly, were are scarbs and others that were taking pictures of yesterdays Haas.
I believe the pictures from the Haas were from a Haas F1 Team photographer, so highly unlikely that person will be taking pictures of the Alpine ( and sharing it ) :D

Looks like it. I'm guessing the panels without the openings might still be in production.

You're better than me, I can't make out much from that video aside from that it is the new car ...
Nice video taken with a Samsun Galaxy S-TWO

And we have a car on the Tarmac... (and I was wrong, it was really the car that they showed, so here it is, for posterity).

So every team on the grid, except Alpine, has decided to pull the sidepods far forward and use them as bargeboards, except Alpine who said "I dont need that, and I'll keep normal sidepods. The tunnel entries can suck air and manage dirty wake alone."

A different cooling/combustion ratio between the Alpine and Mercedes rollhoop intake : )
