The Alpine A525 is a Formula One racing car designed and developed by the Alpine F1 Team for competition in the 2025 Formula One World Championship. It is the fifth Formula One car entered by Alpine since rebranding from Renault. The A525 will be driven by Pierre Gasly, who is on his third season with the team, and rookie driver Jack Doohan; with Franco Colapinto, Paul Aron, Ryō Hirakawa, and Kush Maini all assuming reserve driver roles. The car was revealed at the F1 75 Live event on 18 February 2025, and is set to make its competitive debut at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix.
The A525 will be the first Alpine Formula One car to utilise Eni fuels and Valvoline lubricants; their previous suppliers, BP and Castrol, are set to supply fuels and lubricants, respectively, to the Audi Formula One team from the 2026 season onwards. It will also be the last Alpine car to utilise Renault engines, with the team switching to Mercedes engines in 2026.
History
Alpine unveiled the car at the F1 75 Live event on 18 February 2025. The car's livery was largely similar to the Alpine A521, with the return of the French national racing colour, Bleu de France, that was present on that car and pink accentuating the BWT text on the sidepods and the front end of the car.[1]
