Alpine F1 Team rounded off the pre-season test weekend in Bahrain with 139 laps completed on the third and final day split between Esteban Ocon and Fernando Alonso at the Bahrain International Circuit.
The team now has its sights firmly set on the season-opening race in Bahrain on Sunday 28th March.
The century of laps brings the teams’ lap tally for the whole of testing to 396, equivalent to 2,143km, with each daily programme running to plan.
Esteban took control of the A521 in today’s morning session, completing 61 laps with a best time a 1min 31.310secs on the C3 compound tyre.
Fernando drove in the second, and final, session of the weekend as he accumulated 78 laps with a 1min 30.318secs on C4 tyres his best lap-time.
The team will analyse its data, ready for its return to the Bahrain International Circuit on 26 March when the opening practice session takes place ahead of the first race of the season, the 2021 Bahrain Grand Prix.
Alpine F1 Team is delighted to confirm a new partnership with RAW Super Drink.
Antoine Magnan, Director of Strategic Partnerships: “We are very pleased to join forces with RAW. We are excited about the product itself: it is unique in the market, using all-natural, organic ingredients to deliver top level performance. Equally important, however, is its commitment to sustainable and responsible production to make high-quality nutrition available to all. Our shared values of competition, passion and sustainability are just some of the shared values on which this union has been built and we look forward to seeing many benefits together.”
Rubén González, CEO & Founder of RAW: “For RAW it is a great opportunity to reach F1 but, especially, it is an honour to do it hand in hand with Alpine in such a symbolic year for the entire team. We are very happy to be in the championship and in a way to be able to contribute to improve the recovery and performance of the drivers with RAW and its functional and clean hydration.”
