Alpine's 2026 Formula 1 car – the A526 – has been spotted conducting a shakedown at Silverstone, the home of the British Grand Prix.
In typical British weather, the Enstone-based outfit's running was completed in extremely wet conditions, with leaked footage appearing to show Pierre Gasly behind the wheel.
The French squad has become a Mercedes customer for the new power unit regulations and will officially unveil its livery on Friday.
However, leaked footage of Alpine's shakedown running appears to already show its new design, once again consisting of blue and pink.
The footage shows Gasly driving through the Maggots, Becketts and the Chapel curve, with the noise of Mercedes' new F1 power unit being noticeable.
