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 is being driven by Pierre Gasly, who is on his third season with the team, and a "rotating seat" ^[1] that consists of rookie driver Jack Doohan, who raced with the team from Australia to the Miami Grand Prix, and Franco Colapinto, who replaced Doohan starting from the Emilia Romagna Grand Prix for five races. Paul Aron, Ryō Hirakawa, and Kush Maini all assume reserve driver roles, with Colapinto previously holding such a role before being swapped with Doohan. The car was revealed at a bespoke event on 18 February 2025, and made its competitive debut at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix.

The A525 is the first Alpine Formula One car to utilise Eni fuels and 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 and last F1 car overall for the foreseeable future to utilise Renault engines as Renault has chosen to cease its engine development and supply programme at the end of 2025, with the Alpine 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. ^[2]
