On Wednesday afternoon, Flavio Briatore, Alpine’s executive advisor, posted a video on his Instagram Story.
It simply referred to a marketing meeting of the team, but a bunch of papers on the table sparked considerable noise as it appeared Alpine’s new blue-and-pink livery was on display.
Last season, Alpine appeared at the start of the season with a predominantly black livery. By the end of the year, it was pink and black. In between, elements of blue were prominent.
Whether Briatore made a mistake is unclear, but the video has since been removed.
Have we seen the new livery too soon?
View the footage below!
