Luka de Meo: "For me, great pleasure and is a great honor to present our team before the new season, because this year we will first act in new colors. The coloring of the machine, which you saw today, embodies the simplicity and strength of the flag of France. We use a French engine and a British chassis, so that our car combines all the strengths of the team.
Behind the wheel of this magnificent A521 will sit new riders, about which I would like to say a few words. I will start with Fernando Alonso. He returned home 20 years after he acted in our team, and brought with him the regalia of the two-time world champion. He has speed, perseverance, thirst for success, talent, experience and purposefulness. We are proud that we will have a fantastic racer, but it is also a huge responsibility for us.
Esteban windows - the future star of motor racing. Last year, he achieved the result for us as a result in the quarry, won the second place in Sakhir. We appreciate his talent, martial spirit and composure, as well as modesty and stability. We are waiting for from him new podiums. We have an excellent team of the team that embodies the values of the Renault Group and the authenticity of Alpine. They are both talented and thereby earned a place among the elite of motor racing.
The formula 1 team is both those who stand behind races and the car. I no longer doubt that new managers will lead us to success. The most important thing for me is a collective spirit. It is he who will help us seek success in the long run. We must work together, and everyone should use their experience and talent for the benefit of everyone. In Enstone and Viri there are 1200 people - they are laid out daily. It is them for them to progress over the past few years. I know that they are capable of greater, and I want them to feel my support.
We for a long time in Formula 1 and speaking for victories. We will make every effort to achieve better results. We are inspired and motivated by Alpine: its sporty character, elegance and advanced technologies. She embodies the will to victory and willingness to cope with new challenges in each race. The same work goes to the Renault Group - we want to give a new push company. Every day we try to cope with this challenge. "
