After Mercedes in the morning, it is Alpine's turn this afternoon to showcase their Formula 1 car for 2021. The event can be followed live via this Livestream and will start at 15:00 GMT.

Name change and new line-up

Alpine will be hoping to fight for podiums in 2021 just like last year (when it went through life as Renault). This year, Esteban Ocon and new teammate Fernando Alonso will have to provide the points, after Daniel Ricciardo left for McLaren.

The shape of the car will not change much, but a brand new livery is expected. The yellow of Renault will most likely make way for a sky blue livery, with which it is also active in the LMP2 class. However, an interim black livery was shown earlier this year, so maybe the team will surprise.
