Alpine has launched the A521, the first Formula 1 car ever to run under the branding of the French manufacturer.

Alpine will make its F1 debut with drivers Fernando Alonso and Esteban Ocon at the wheel - Alonso returning from a two-year absence from the sport.

The Spaniard was forced to miss the launch ceremony due to travel restrictions between the UK and his home in Switzerland.

Last year, as Renault, the team finished fifth in the constructors' standings after losing out in a season-long 'fight for third' with rivals McLaren and Racing Point.

The team scored three podium results with Daniel Ricciardo, now at McLaren, finishing third twice and Ocon second in the Sakhir Grand Prix.

GPFans has compiled a gallery of images from the launch of the A521.
