The A522 will be raced this year by Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon, who'll team up for a second season at Alpine.

Ocon got the honour of taking the first victory for the Alpine outfit - as Renault were renamed for 2021 - at last year's Hungarian Grand Prix, while F1 returnee Alonso claimed an impressive podium at the Qatar race later in the year.
