Alpine A522 Speculation Thread

A place to discuss the characteristics of the cars in Formula One, both current as well as historical. Laptimes, driver worshipping and team chatter do not belong here.

Hopefully in a good way. The Lotus E22 also looked different from what we've seen on the grid that year and it wasn't that good. :D

Yes, I know. But about jumbo airbox... Isn't it maybe a confirmation of my theory that Alpine will have jumbo airbox again? Mclaren also have bulky airbox.
We will see, soon. 😉

No. The response to this question has been repeated so many times it isn't funny.

The big air box was basically a Covid symptom.
It wasn't something that Alpine intended to do for performance reasons. Rather it was because all teams had to reuse the 2020 chassis (in Alpine's case was already the 2019 chassis) in 2021 and make the new floor changes work. If they would have been able to create a new chassis for 2021, that (big airbox) wouldn't have been the direction they would have chosen.

I guess it's those old interviews with Prost where he said the PU is not stable yet...
