After putting on a
special Valentine’s Day livery for their 2019 Formula 1 car reveal last week,
Alfa Romeo Racing has now unveiled the official livery with which it will race
throughout this upcoming season.
Visually, the car definitely
looks more striking than last year’s Sauber, now combining the latter’s white
and blue colors with Alfa Romeo’s traditional red, while also adding special
branding on top of the engine cover to honor the Giulia and Stelvio production
models. The unveiling took place today, ahead of this season’s first official
practice session at the Circuit de Catalunya in Spain.
Meanwhile, new
addition to the Alfa Romeo Racing team, Antonio Giovinazzi, also praised the
new look of the car, stating: “I think it is a beautiful car – the design of
the livery is great, very clean, and I like the colors a lot,” a sentiment also
echoed by Kimi Raikkonen, who said “the car looks great, the livery design is
nice.”
For this upcoming
season, Alfa Romeo Racing will hope to build on Sauber’s performance last year,
when the team finished eighth in the Constructors championship with 48 points,
just 4 points shy of Force India and 14 points behind McLaren.
