Alpine came out on Thursday evening with images of the car the team will be entering the new season with. With the A523, as it calls the car, it hopes to have a successful year. We list some of the reactions on social media.

Some really interesting sidepods on the @AlpineF1Team #A523. Looks like a bit of a cross between the Ferrari bathtub and the Aston Martin channels… #F1

A long and rather dull @AlpineF1Team conference (team launch) tonight. Not massively keen on the blue/pink/black livery but feel the pink/black livery lends itself more so to the car better. Far too much carbon on the cars this year! 👎🏼 #Alpine #F1 #A523
