After Ferrari, Alpine will become the second team to unveil its 2026 car on January 23.
The reveal of their brand new A526 marks a new era for the French team, moving to Mercedes power units after Renault brought an end to their F1 engine development.
Pierre Gasly heralded this new era with a shakedown at Silverstone circuit, giving Alpine their first miles with a Mercedes engine.

Gasly will once again be joined by Franco Colapinto for the 2026 season, with Flavio Briatore back as the team's de facto leader.

Colapinto held onto his seat for 2026 after the Argentine replaced Jack Doohan just seven races into the 2025 campaign. The Australian has since parted ways with Alpine.
Like Ferrari, Alpine will be livestreaming its reveal of the A526 on its YouTube channel from 12:30 CET (11:30 GMT). Watch the French team's 2026 car launch above!
