Renault opted to rebrand it’s F1 team to the Alpine division for this campaign and completely changed their livery, from the traditional yellow and black to the colours of reflecting Alpine’s motorsport heritage.

The A521 will be powered by Renault’s E-Tech 21 Power-Train, designed and developed by the French manufacturers’ engine facility in Viry-Chatillon, France, whilst the chassis itself is an evolution of last season’s R.S.20.

While there is a heavy carryover of parts from the 2020 campaign, as the rules and regulations dictate, the Enstone-French squad stated they have developed and improved “every part that has not been homologated”.

The Enstone-based squad welcome back double World Champion Fernando Alonso, with whom they won the Oviedo, Asturias-born Spaniard in 2005 and 2006 under the Renault name.

Alonso will partner Esteban Ocon, who enters his second season with the team, having finished last campaign strongly as he achieved his maiden-podium at the Sakhir Grand Prix in Bahrain.

Alpine’s team management has also been shaken up, with Cyril Abiteboul leaving the outfit and being replaced by Laurent Rossi as Chief Executive Officer.

Marcin Budkowski remains as Team Executive Director, with Racing Director Davide Brivio completing the trio after joining the outfit from Suzuki’s MotoGP team.

Ocon will give the A521 it’s first shakedown at Silverstone Circuit today.

Renault F1 Team finished last campaign fifth in the World Constructor’s Championship standings, losing out to McLaren Racing and BWT Racing Point F1 Team in the battle for third place. They are positive to go one step better under the Alpine banner this year.
