Alpine has conducted the first on-track running with its 2025 Formula 1 car, the A525 ahead of pre-season testing.

The Anglo-French outfit took its blue and pink liveried A525 on track at the Bahrain International Circuit on Monday, six days on from unveiling its colour scheme to the world at London’s O2 Arena.

Drivers Jack Doohan and Pierre Gasly split 200km of running as part of Alpine’s two permitted filming days, shaking down the A525 as well as garnering some exposure for the team’s host of new partners including Eni, MSC, OAKBERRY, Mercado Libre, Arctic Wolf, Castore and MODO Casino, which join title partner BWT on the colourfully clad F1 machine.

The car will be back in action on Wednesday morning as official F1 pre-season testing begins in Bahrain, with Doohan slated to be the first to head out of the garage.

“We have had a good first day on-track here in Bahrain and I am sure everyone at the team feels really excited to be back and ready now to start the season,” the Australian rookie said. 

“It is my first time driving a shakedown day so a great experience, especially driving on track with the filming vehicles! 

“The car felt good so thanks to everyone at Enstone and Viry-Châtillon for their time and dedication in getting ready for 2025. 

“I know Pierre and I are really excited for Wednesday and beginning pre-season testing. 

“It will be three busy days where we have many things to run through in order to develop the A525 ahead of the season start.”

Gasly happy after initial sampling of Alpine A525

Gasly ended the 2024 season in a fine run of form and he will be hoping to carry that into this year with the A525 and the Frenchman was happy with his initial sample of the car.

“It is a great feeling to be back on track and driving the A525 for the first time,” he said.

“Congratulations to everyone who has contributed to this car and all the hard work that has gone into preparing this season. 

“It is only a shakedown, limited running, so it’s not like we are driving the car at its full potential but the initial feeling felt smooth and I am just looking forward to getting going and having a proper run later this week for official pre-season testing. 

“I must say, the new colours look really cool so I hope everyone enjoys seeing the A525 in action.”

2025 will also be the first full season for Team Principal Oliver Oakes at the helm of the Alpine squad.

The Briton oversaw a revival at Alpine upon joining in August and hopes the A525 will help the team push on from its final standing of sixth in the 2024 Constructors’ Championship.

“It is always a moment of pride when a new car goes on track for the first time so well done to everyone at Enstone and Viry-Châtillon for their hard work in developing the A525 ahead of this season,” Oakes said. 

“Despite the overcast and strong gusts of wind, we have had a good day’s running in Bahrain with 200km completed split evenly between Pierre and Jack. 

“It is important to give them a first go each and allow them both to have a first feeling at the wheel ahead of a busy three days of testing later this week. 

“There are certainly multiple areas of interest for us to keep learning and progressing and we look forward to continuing the hard work beginning on Wednesday with Jack driving the morning and Pierre the afternoon.”
