The Alpine F1 Team have presented their 2021 F1 challenger. The team, previously known as Renault, presented on Tuesday afternoon. How much has actually been changed to the car itself compared to the final Grand Prix of last season?
In the first place, of course, the name. With the disappearance of Reanult, the naming system of their F1 cars changed. In 2020 they drove with the R.S.20. The car presented here today is called the A521. With that, it refers to the A500, a prototype for an F1 car of Alpine from 1975.

Blue Livery

In January Alpine revealed a first livery that also referred to this infamous A500. This prototype was all black at the time and the livery Alpine presented now is mostly blue.
When Renault re-entered Formula 1 five years ago, the aim was to fight for the world title within five years. That has not happened by a long shot and, despite the talent of Esteban Ocon and reinforcements from Fernando Alonso and Davide Brivio, it is unlikely to happen next season. 2021 can therefore be seen as an interim year.
