The presentation of the new car, which the Alfa Romeo team presented today, proceeded according to the classic scenario, ie fans of the team gathered in the studio in Zurich, representatives of the team’s management addressed them and the riders participated to the ceremony, first via a video link from a separate room, and then also to the public.
True, everyone saw the car only on the screens, and I must say that it looks impressive. Striking is the new livery, which has now become red and black, and the definition of ‘formidable’ was often heard in the speeches of the creators of the C43 and the racers – exactly the emotions a race car should evoke.
When Valtteri Bottas and Guanyu Zhou removed the traditional cover from the car, it was clear on their faces that they really liked the car in the new war paint. But the team makes no secret of the fact that the C43 presented today is just a show car, which will then be put up for auction.
The design of the car was developed by specialists at the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile design center – taking into account the wishes of Stake, the team’s new title partner, of course.
According to Jean Monchaux, technical director of Alfa Romeo, the C43 is an evolution of the concept behind last year’s car, but with changes to the 2023 technical regulations, as well as improvements to a number of components and in some cases completely new parts. added. developed.
Before the car is sent to Bahrain for testing, the first break-in period will take place this week in Barcelona.
