Alpine’s uncompromising upgrades plan diverged from the majority of the grid in 2022, but it paid off as the team moved up the order 📈 Here’s the tech review on the A522 F1 car ⬇️
Making the most of improved resources at Enstone, and a much-improved power unit from Viry-Chatillon, the team ended up being one of the surprises of the campaign.
That was partly the result of it adopting an aggressive development push compared to other teams – with it bringing updates to almost every race of the season rather than staggering them like rivals.Alpine made a change to the location of its caliper for 2022, moving it to the front of the assembly, rather than the rear.
This was likely a decision driven by aerodynamic intent, rather than mechanical, with the design of the caliper enclosure also meticulously designed to ensure that the heat being generated by the disc had a means to pass through.Alpine kicked off its development programme with a swift change to the sidepod's rear profile, altering the shape of the downward-sloping section of the ramp quite significantly.
The more haunched outer shoulder also resulted in a deeper inner channel section to not only help define the airflow's passage but also have more of an influence over the wake being generated by the rear tyre too.The team also debuted a new lower-downforce rear wing in Bahrain, setting out the team's stall when compared to many of its competitors, with the Anglo-French outfit seemingly able to trim the car more at a given circuit.
