Alpine's bold new era officially starts on Friday with the launch of its new Mercedes-powered A526 F1 car.
The team has switched from Renault works power units to a customer Mercedes supply, with Pierre Gasly giving the new car a shakedown at a rainy Silverstone earlier this week.
He will be joined by Franco Colapinto in sharing the driving duties for the coming season.
Below, you can follow the Alpine launch event live, with RacingNews365 on hand to deliver all the latest reaction, technical analysis and comments from Gasly, Colapinto, and Flavio Briatore.
