As some announcements are expected from theAlpine (possible engine Mercedes, second driver for 2025…), as much as that of a special livery for the Belgian Grand Prix was not part of it. However, this is what the French manufacturer revealed this Wednesday afternoon. The single-seaters ofEsteban Ocon et Pierre Gasly will indeed wear the colors of the film Deadpool & Wolverine at Spa-Francorchamps this weekend.

On the occasion of the release in French cinemas this Wednesday July 24 of the film Deadpool & Wolverine, the two Alpine A524 will be adorned with red and black, the colors of Deadpool's superhero costume. The latter's logo, based on the design of its mask, will also be visible on the muzzle of the cars, above the arrowed A. The claw mark of Wolverine, the other central character of the film, will be visible on the sides.
Si Alpine is advertising Deadpool's third cinematic adventure simply because the Marvel character is played by Ryan Reynolds, one of the famous investors ofAlpine Racing Ltd. The Canadian actor first played this role in 2009 in X-Men Origins: Wolverine before reprising it from 2016 in Deadpool, the first part of a trilogy which followed Deadpool 2 (2018) and therefore Deadpool & Wolverine since this Wednesday. The famous X-Men character is, for his part, once again played by Hugh Jackman, as is the case for each appearance of the mutant on the big screens since 2000.
The Alpine will be visible in this special livery from 13:30 p.m. Friday for Free Practice 1. As for the film Deadpool & Wolverine, it is visible in cinemas in France from this Wednesday.

Rather than spending time and wasting energy in this type of communication which is of no use to anyone (except those who pay) Alpine F1 would do better to dedicate itself and concentrate on its performance. Finishing last or almost last GP is unbearable.

So a few extra kilos for single-seaters that are a little behind!! When will there be a covering with the names of all the collaborators (former and current) of the F1 program at Viry-Chatillon, to pay tribute to them?
