Where is this from?

Alpine f1 team twitter launch video.
Side pods look like AM?

Unverified rumors about A522 are still disappointing. Some say that the car will be brought to the second tests only. I hope Alpine deliberately spreads false rumors so as not to reveal its cards

Can you at least mention where you saw those rumors...

He joined 18.2.2022.....its probably that @vish guy from Twitter....

Someone posted this on Reddit claiming they'd seen the new Alpine ready for the unveiling. Looks possible given it's almost certainly a 2022 car (wheel size, wheel winglets, triangular endplates.

Should it be real then the sidepods seem to stay wide & high for a considerable length, similar to AMR/AR/Ferrari

However, is quite likely to be fake or a showcar with just the new livery. Thought to post it anyway

Some car can be seen here

We're seeing the airbox (with the rear of the car on the left) in that short teaser, right?

Why would it be ready for unveiling today and not locked away in a garage?

Well Ferrari leaked a day before their car reveal, so it's not like there's no precedent? I'm extremely skeptical, like yourself; if this wasn't the speculation thread I wouldn't have posted

or more importantly... on its way to Barcelona!

Green area looks like an air-filter compartment to me, so the blue area is the compressor duct, I guess. While pink duct is feeding a radiator behind the engine... Is the roll-hoop painted black?

They’d film it today, the actual unveiling is not likely to be live when they have a filming day booked for Barcelona on Tuesday..

Could it be that the airfilter just filters the entirety of the purple duct? Why do you think there would be two ducts there?

No the purple duct would be totaly separate from the blue duct and its air filter...
This looks like a similar roll-hoop ducting to Merc/AM/Williams, or Lotus/Renault a few years back

That's what it looks like to me.

Scarbs says this is a split turbo airbox
