CEO of Renault Group Luca de Meo addressed the audience alongside Executive Advisor Flavio Briatore and Oliver Oakes, while Executive Technical Director David Sanchez offered an insight into the technical development and plans for the A525.
It was also the first time the team presented its full roster of drivers for the year with Race Drivers Pierre and Jack on stage with the trio of Test and Reserve Drivers: Paul Aron, Ryo Hirakawa and Franco Colapinto. Following the afternoon event in Shoreditch, Pierre and Jack arrived in style to the O2 Arena for the evening’s F175 Live in an Alpine A290, the 100% electric sporty city car and winner of 2025 Car of the Year.
Oliver Oakes, Team Principal: “Days like this always mark significant milestones in a Formula One season. Firstly, it has been a huge effort at both our factories in Enstone and Viry-Chatillon to prepare for the year ahead. We aim to start the year with strong foundations and it will certainly be another competitive season throughout the grid. it will be important to keep making forward strides and pushing development as far as we dare all the while keeping our attention close on the regulation changes for 2026 and developing that package.”
A525
The A525 is a continued evolution of the A524, which was significantly developed through the 2024 season. In the end – with two podiums achieved at the São Paolo Grand Prix – the team ended the season sixth in the FIA Constructors’ Championship. The team aims to rise to the challenge and continue its momentum in 2025. The A525 will first be on track in Bahrain in a shakedown on 24 February with both Pierre and Jack splitting the 200km-limited day before three-days of pre-season testing in Bahrain later that week.
David Sanchez, Executive Technical Director: “It has been a particularly busy winter for the team so credit to everyone involved at the factories for their work in developing the ambitious A525 car while maintaining some perspective on next year’s development. The A525 is a continued evolution of the A524 where we have refined some details and aimed to improve some weaknesses in order to find more performance. We changed direction last year, which allowed us more scope to push the limit on development and we have been pleased with how this has progressed so far. Now we aim to maximise this car’s evolution and progress the overall package in its current form as far as we can.”
Pierre Gasly: “This time of year is always so exciting because we are just around the corner from the season start and seeing the end result of all the hard work from the off-season. I am entering my eighth year in Formula One and I am just as excited to get the season underway as I was when I made my debut midway in 2017. I have been working hard over the winter months to prepare myself for the year and I am looking forward to getting out on track next week and getting my first feel of the A525.”
Jack Doohan: “I am looking forward to the 2025 season with BWT Alpine Formula One Team and making the step up to the full-time race seat. To have been able to make my debut with the team last year in Abu Dhabi was a dream come true and a great opportunity to familiarise myself with the weekend set up ahead of this coming season. Now I am excited to get back out on track and test the A525 in Bahrain ahead of my home race in Australia next month.”
