After a year in which Alpine has minimized damage with a slightly evolved car and a somewhat outdated engine, 2022 is presented as the moment of truth for the Anglo-French line-up, which will have to provide its two regular drivers, Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon, a single-seater capable of fighting for podiums on a regular basis.
In addition, the team must demonstrate that the decisions made by the CEO of Alpine Cars, laurent rossi, are correct, since the departure of Marcin Budkowski and Alain Prost are undoubtedly relevant and it will be necessary to see how they affect the functioning of the organization.
All this framed in the beginning of a new era for Formula 1, as the category welcomes a new technical regulation that forces engineers to break with everything that came before, thus providing fans with cars completely different from the previous ones.
