It is the fifth Formula One car entered by Alpine since rebranding from Renault.

The A525 will be driven by Pierre Gasly, who is on his third season with the team, and rookie driver Jack Doohan; with Franco Colapinto, Paul Aron and Ryō Hirakawa all assuming reserve driver roles.

The car was revealed at the F1 75 Live event on 18 February 2025, and is set to make its competitive debut at the 2025 Australian Grand Prix.

The A525 will be the first Alpine Formula One car to utilise Eni fuels and Valvoline lubricants; their previous suppliers, BP and Castrol, are set to supply fuels and lubricants, respectively, to the Audi Formula One team from the 2026 season onwards.
