Alpine Mercado Livre Race Suits for 2026 São Paulo GP
Alpine’s Mercado Livre race suits are a one-off yellow look that Pierre Gasly and Franco Colapinto will wear at the 2026 São Paulo Grand Prix. The team shared nine official photos in São Paulo race week.
Key Takeaways
Gasly and Colapinto wear special edition Mercado Livre suits from Friday in São Paulo.
The suits are yellow with royal blue panels and carry each driver’s mark: PG10 and FC43.
In 2025, Alpine ran Mercado Libre’s yellow on a special A525 car livery in Austin, Mexico City and São Paulo.
What the Alpine Mercado Livre suits look like
The suits are bright yellow with royal blue panels across the shoulders, down the sides of the torso and arms, along the outer legs and at the ankle cuffs. White lines the collar and the wrist cuffs, and a white band crosses the waist on the back.
On the front, the Alpine “A” logo sits on the collar and chest, with a large blue “BWT” and “Best Water Technology” across the chest and the eni logo below. Smaller chest logos include MSC, Businessolver, Moser Watch and R5 Turbo 3E. A small Mercado Livre logo sits on the blue shoulder panel beside the Castore logo, and a large Alpinestars star covers each shoulder. “ALPINE” is spelled vertically down the outer leg.


Driver marks, gloves and boots
Each suit carries the driver’s mark below the waist: “PG10” with the French flag for Pierre Gasly and “FC43” with the Argentine flag for Franco Colapinto.

The back shows “BWT”, “ALPINE FORMULA ONE TEAM”, the Castore and R5 Turbo 3E logos and an Alpinestars star. The gloves are yellow with blue Alpinestars graphics, “BWT” on the cuff and Moser Watch on the wrist strap. The blue Alpinestars boots have a yellow-outlined star and carry “PG10” or “FC43”.


A one-off look for Interlagos
Alpine says the drivers will wear the special edition suits from Friday at the São Paulo Grand Prix as part of the team’s partnership with Mercado Livre. The team presented them with a simple line: “And it was all yellow…”
The colour has history with this partner: in 2025, the team ran Mercado Libre’s yellow on a special A525 car livery at Austin, Mexico City and São Paulo. Mercado Livre is the name Mercado Libre uses in Brazil. This year, Alpine’s announcement covers the race suits; it does not mention a special livery for the A526. On Instagram, the team summed it up: “Suited and booted. We’re ready 💛💛💛”.
The race takes place at Interlagos, the final race of the Americas triple header. In Alpine’s race preview, both drivers spoke about the circuit.
“Interlagos is a special place for me, having secured my first Formula One podium there in 2019, and of course doing it again with our incredible result in 2024.”
Pierre Gasly
“It is always brilliant to race in South America and Interlagos, as the track is one of the best of the season. There are so many Argentinians joining the Brazilian fans in the grandstands to support us and I want to make sure we can give them a good race.”
Franco Colapinto
