First details of Alonso's Alpine for 2022

Foto: Arturo Garcia Author: @20minutoses With the 2021 season completed and all the test work completed, Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon (like the rest of the drivers on the grid) can go on vacation, but that does not mean that Formula 1 will stop. It will not be until January when they return to the Enstone factory to prepare for the vital 2022 preseason to be held in Barcelona, ​​where the new cars will be seen for the first time, which will be totally different from those seen so far.

Like Red Bull, Alpine makes its car strong. The Mercedes drives comparatively low at the rear. And yet the two cars seem related to each other. When Mercedes was strong compared to world championship opponents Red Bull, Alpine also cut a good figure in its league. Examples? Portimao, Barcelona, ​​Silverstone, Budapest, Sochi, Istanbul, Qatar, Saudi Arabia. If

Su equipo Alpine lo confirmó en un comunicado oficial que se publicó en su sitio web. "Lamentamos confirmar que nuestro piloto Fernando Alonso ya no será parte de nuestro equipo a partir de 2022. Nos gustaría agradecer a Fernando por todos los recuerdos de los días de Renault, pero también por este increíble año de regreso. El reemplazo de Fernando será confirmado en los próximos días". Con la sorpresiva retirada de Fernando, se espera que su sustituto sea el campeón de Fórmula 2 de 2021 Oscar Piastri. Fernando ganó 2 campeonatos del mundo con el equipo de Enstone en 2005 y 2006.
