The Plan continues to take steps forward and Alpine has just announced the presentation date for its new car. The A522 will see the light of day on February 21, just two days before the preseason officially starts at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya. That day, surely we will see a smiling Fernando Alonso climbed for the first time to the machine with which he aspires to revive old laurels.
For the second consecutive year, Esteban Ocon will be his teammate and his ally to seek another step forward from Alpine , who finished fifth in the constructors' championship in the last World Championship. Confirmed the date of presentation of the car, the next step should be to announce the name of its new team leader, a vacant position since the departure of the Polish Marcin Budkowski .
In addition, among the pending unknowns in the French team are the possible arrival of Flavio Briatore , who would experience a very special reunion with Fernando Alonso , and the confirmation of the powerful advertising agreement with BWT that would paint their cars pink. Many doubts to be resolved less than two months before the Plan officially starts at the Bahrain Grand Prix.
And it is . And it is . And it is . 02.21.22 https://t.co/jIjediIQUA
