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.

So that makes it look like a very short car compared to the rest of the field, or is that just an illusion?

I’ll wait for the real pics tomorrow but if the blue render is correct this and the Williams are the worst looking designs on the grid IMO.

Not that it matters come race day.

Similar front wing concept with the main plane not attached to the nose:

The floor looks all photo-chopped. They blurred out all the detail.

Airbox looks like the one in the renders, I think.

I guess this is the Monza spet front and rear wings.

Think I prefer the pink livery. They're both very nice. We'll see what the car really looks like tomorrow.

Adjustments on the front wing are pushed out wide on the upper plane with the gurney flap, looks like it's trying to aid in the outwash there.

Interesting that it runs fairly large sidepods with a big airbox.

Similar severe undercut to Ferrari under the inlets. Aggressive downwash like AT.

I think everyone evaluated similar solutions but all went different directions(although I think Haas and AT share some very close solutions with their big sister teams).
