Not very inspiring

 

 

I like

Temporary winter livery. The black colour is a tribute to the A500 F1 prototype from 1975.

 

 

I'd like to see more blue instead of the black. Something someone photoshopped (twitter vLionMan)

 

 

The blue is cool and way more in line with traditional Alpine colours, even yellow would be better

I liked the yellow. 

 

Alpine is also a relatively obscure brand; Given the Renault, Nissan, Infinity, Alpine, Dacia etc tie ups it seems a strange choice. 

In the initial press releases they said they wanted to build the Alpine brand, given that it's sorta been a small-scale sports car brand that not a lot of people know about.

Like Spyker? i guess. It just seems an odd choice given its current profile. 

 

I suspect the racing project will cost more than the entire brand is actually worth. 

 

Good luck to em, more of this kind of exposure , better for the brand. I like French cars and would happily have an Alpine if i could afford it.

Exactly the reason they did it.

Thats what the marketing says yes. 

 

I think there are deeper reasons at play here.

The black is temporary just so that they can display an identity. It also wont be used on the race car apparently

Now Charles has the gogga

Fortunately taste differs!    That's a bit rough (smartie-box) on my eyes.

Anybody else think that Mclaren is the only team that will actually move in comparison to last season. They are all using last years cars besides Mclaren who now has Merc Power and rear end. Think with Lando and Danny they have a fair chance of bagging consistent points like last year.
