The A523 will be revealed at a launch event in London next month, one week before the three-day 2023 pre-season test in Bahrain. As of right now, AlphaTauri will be the first to reveal their season’s challenger, followed by Aston Martin and then the Scuderia, while the rest of the teams are yet to confirm their dates.
2022 was quite a strong season for Alpine, who came out on top in their battle for fourth against McLaren in the F1 constructors’ championship. In the upcoming season, the French outfit will be bringing in AlphaTauri’s Pierre Gasly to partner Esteban Ocon and replace two-time world champion Fernando Alonso, who has moved to Aston Martin.
As reported by F1.com, Alpine CEO Laurent Rossi acknowledged the progress made by the team and emphasized that he hopes to keep up the momentum to close the gap to the top. He said:

As reported by PlanetF1, the Alpine driver said:
Pierre Gasly finished the 2022 F1 season 14th in the drivers’ championship.
