Alpine has become the fourth F1 team to officially announce its launch plans for the 2026 season.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Pierre Gasly, Franco Colapinto and senior team management, including Steve Nielsen and Flavio Briatore are to launch the new era for the team on January 23rd in Barcelona.<\/p>\n
The launch will be a season launch, with the livery being unveiled as the team prepares for the behind-closed-doors test in the final week of January, at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya.\u00a0<\/p>\n
For Alpine, 2026 is a big year with the team transitioning from a works power unit supply to customer status.<\/p>\n
It is trading its Renault power unit for a Mercedes one as F1’s power unit rules undergo huge changes, including beefed-up electrical systems, which are set to feature nearly three times as energy, up from 120kw to 350kw, with the MGU-H also being removed.<\/p>\n
Red Bull, Racing Bulls and Aston Martin have also confirmed their launch plans, with the full table available below!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Alpine has become the fourth F1 team to officially announce its launch plans for the 2026 season.\u00a0 Pierre…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":323691,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[572],"tags":[64,63,827,830,828,831,829,826,813,823,825,806,805,824,803,804,822,85],"class_list":["post-323690","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-motosport","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-daniel-ricciardo","tag-f1-calendar","tag-f1-live","tag-f1-results","tag-f1-standings","tag-ferrari","tag-formula-1","tag-lewis-hamilton","tag-max-verstappen","tag-motor","tag-motor-sports","tag-motorsport","tag-motosport","tag-motosports","tag-racing","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323690","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=323690"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/323690\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/323691"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=323690"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=323690"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=323690"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
