The Alpine A522 is a Formula One car crafted by the BWT Alpine F1 Team specifically for the 2022 Formula One World Championship. Piloted by Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon, this model represents Alpine's inaugural chassis designed in accordance with the 2022 technical regulations.

Competition history

In terms of performance, the A522 equaled its forerunner, the A521, maintaining consistent point finishes while seldom posing a serious threat to the leading teams. Its most notable attribute was its exceptional top speed, especially evident during the Baku event, where it surpassed competitors on the straights despite their DRS advantage. Despite encountering some reliability setbacks throughout the season, Alpine achieved 4th place in the constructors' standings—their highest position since 2018.

Sponsorship and livery

To inaugurate its partnership with BWT, Alpine showcased the A522 in a unique pink color scheme during the opening two races of the season held in Bahrain and Saudi Arabia, diverging from their traditional blue appearance.

Racing Pride

In June 2022, Alpine joined forces with Racing Pride to foster inclusivity and attract new talent from the LGBTQ+ community. The team pledged to enhance awareness and provide support through multiple initiatives. Throughout Pride Month 2022, Alpine adorned their vehicles with a special pride-inspired livery and integrated LGBTQ+ representation across various team locations.

Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi highlighted the significance of embracing diversity: "Motorsport has historically not mirrored broader societal diversity. It is crucial to confront prejudices and cultivate an open, inclusive environment where team members feel valued. Such a positive atmosphere encourages creativity, which is vital for advancement. Pride Month serves as an initial step; ongoing efforts are necessary to amplify this community’s voice and visibility."
