Alpine’s 2025 F1 livery leak, while unexpected, highlights the excitement building around the team’s new car and driver lineup. For the upcoming season, they will field Pierre Gasly alongside rookie Jack Doohan, following the departure of Esteban Ocon to Haas.
Additionally, the team has signed Franco Colapinto as a reserve and test driver, however, Alpine’s executive advisor Flavio Briatore has fueled speculation that he might replace Doohan if the rookie fails to meet expectations.
“The only thing we can be sure of is death!“ the 74-year old told Le Parisien. “We’ll start the year with Pierre and Jack, I can guarantee that. After that, we’ll see as the season progresses.
“I have to get the team in the right condition to get results and the driver is the one who has to conclude the work of nearly 1,000 people behind him. Everyone works for just two people.
“If there’s a driver who isn’t making progress, who isn’t bringing me results, I change him. You can’t be emotional in F1.”
Briatore, known for his successful tenure as team principal for both Benetton and Renault, has had a storied career in Formula 1. Despite being embroiled in the infamous ‘Crashgate’ scandal which led to a ban that was later overturned, Briatore has maintained a huge presence in the sport.
His role as an advisor underscores his enduring influence and experience, which will be crucial as the team navigates the challenges of the 2025 F1 season.

As the F1 community eagerly awaits the official launch, Alpine’s 2025 F1 livery leak has generated considerable buzz. Fans are speculating about the potential performance of the A525, given the team’s recent driver changes and ongoing development efforts.
