Alpine’s 2025 F1 Car Unveiled in Bahrain Test
Alpine recently unveiled its new A525 Formula 1 car in a shakedown at the Bahrain International Circuit, gearing up for the upcoming 2025 season. The test, conducted officially as a filming day, covered a maximum of 200km (124 miles) using demonstration tires in compliance with regulations. The day was split evenly between Pierre Gasly and his new rookie teammate, Jack Doohan, who both got their first experience with the new machinery. Team principal Oliver Oakes highlighted this pivotal moment for the team, setting the stage for what promises to be an exciting season ahead.
A Sneak Peek at the New Alpine A525
Alpine had previously revealed its vibrant blue-and-pink livery at the F175 Live event in London, but the actual 2025 car had been kept under wraps until now. Gasly expressed his initial impressions of the car, emphasizing that while it was just a shakedown with limited running, the feeling was smooth and promising. Looking ahead to the official pre-season testing later in the week, Gasly expressed eagerness to push the car to its full potential and see what it could truly deliver on the track.
Preparing for Pre-Season Running in Bahrain
As Alpine gears up for the upcoming pre-season running in Bahrain, Gasly and Doohan are set to share the track over three days of intense testing. Doohan outlined the team’s objectives for the sessions, emphasizing the need to run through various aspects to optimize the performance of the A525 ahead of the season start. Oakes echoed this sentiment, noting multiple areas of interest for the team to explore further and continue their progression.
Gasly’s Ambitious Goals for Alpine in 2025
Gasly set the bar high for Alpine, aiming for a top-five finish in the 2025 constructors’ championship. This ambitious goal would position the team as the ‘best of the rest’ behind the established top teams, including the formidable Aston Martin outfit. Gasly’s vision requires Alpine to outperform every other rival on the grid, a challenge that the team is gearing up to tackle head-on. With legendary designer Adrian Newey joining Aston Martin in March, the competition is set to intensify, adding an extra layer of excitement to the upcoming season.
As Alpine unveils its new A525 Formula 1 car and gears up for the 2025 season, the team is poised for an exhilarating journey ahead. With Gasly and Doohan at the helm, supported by a dedicated team led by Oakes, Alpine is ready to push the boundaries and chase their ambitious goals on the track. The upcoming pre-season running in Bahrain will be a crucial testing ground for the team to fine-tune their performance and set the stage for what promises to be a thrilling season of Formula 1 racing.
