Alpine is a works team that has been aggressive with its power unit design and that has a strong driver line-up spearheaded by Fernando Alonso, yet as we explain in the latest edition of The Race F1 Podcast, it has conservative objectives for 2022.
Gary Anderson and Mark Hughes join Edd Straw to take a close look at the new Alpine A522, and the team’s reasons for managing objectives – or should that be admitting the harsh realities – for the season ahead.
There’s a look at the major change to the power unit configuration, and what that means for the car packaging.
We also take a close look at the sidepod concept and the reasons for the various aerodynamic decisions that have been made with the car.
And with Haas also running its new VF-22 for the first time, we revisit its latest machine having originally only been able to see renders.
The Race F1 Podcast is devoting an episode to every 2022 car and is available free to subscribe to from all good podcast suppliers, including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
