Return of the Pink Livery? Alpine F1 Announces Title Partnership With BWT As 2022 Car Reveal Edges Near

Prior to the start of the 2021 Formula One season, Aston Martin made the shocking move of replacing BWT with Cognizant as the title partner after having worked together for three years. Hence, it almost seemed like the Austrian water treatment company had already lost their major privileges in the team and an F1 exit looked imminent for them by the end of 2021.

However, then began the rumor of Alpine potentially considering a deal with BWT for the 2022 season and beyond. Well, two months later, the rumor has indeed turned out to be true. Alpine F1 team have officially announced that BWT will be their title partner, heading into 2022.

This also means that the French outfit have agreed upon the kind of livery they would sport on the 2022 challenger, A522. While in their debut season, their livery comprised the combination of Blue and Red, the upcoming season could witness something much more enticing.

Why you might ask? Well, BWT has a habit of bringing pink color to the racing outfits they are partnered with. This happened at Racing Point in 2019 and 2020 before Aston Martin replaced it with an all-green livery.
