The BWT Alpine team unveiled its new color scheme for the 2025 Formula 1 season during a double event in London. The presentation included an exclusive session for media and partners in Shoreditch, followed by an appearance at the F175 Live event at The O2 Arena, which celebrated the category’s 75th anniversary.

The team introduced the livery of the A525, which maintains Alpine's signature blue combined with the pink of BWT, the team’s main sponsor. The presentation also served to officially announce the addition of new commercial partners, including Eni, MSC, OAKBERRY, and Arctic Wolf.

The event was attended by Renault Group CEO Luca de Meo, executive advisor Flavio Briatore, and team principal Oliver Oakes. Drivers Pierre Gasly and Jack Doohan also took the stage to share their expectations for the season.

Season preparation and objectives

David Sanchez, technical director, highlighted that the A525 is an evolution of the previous model, refining key aspects to improve performance. After a 2024 season in which they achieved two podiums and finished sixth in the constructors' championship, the team aims to build on its progress and capitalize on the development initiated last season.

Gasly, who is entering his eighth year in the series, stated that he is motivated by the work done during the winter and ready to face the first challenges of the calendar. Doohan, meanwhile, emphasized the importance of his debut in Abu Dhabi in 2024 and the preparation he has undertaken for his first full season as a race driver.

First tests in Bahrain

The A525 will conduct its first shakedown on February 24 in Bahrain, where Gasly and Doohan will share the permitted 200-kilometer session before the three days of pre-season testing at the same circuit. These sessions will be key to assessing the car’s performance ahead of the championship’s start in March.
