The third team to unveil its livery for F1 2021 season, Alfa Romeo, took off its cover over the new C41 with the team launching the car at a ceremony in Warsaw, Poland.
Alfa Romeo is one of just three teams who have stuck with their 2020 line-up for this season, with the C41 set to be piloted by the pairing of Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi – beginning their third season as teammates – while former F1 winner Robert Kubica will also be part of the squad as test and reserve driver.

Alfa Romeo will be hoping that the arrival of the C41 marks an upturn in the team’s fortunes, after a difficult 2020 that saw Raikkonen and Giovinazzi score just eight points between them, as the team limped to eighth in the constructors’ standings.
A key part of that equation, however, will be the performance of Ferrari’s new 066 power unit for 2021, also set to be run by Haas, as well as Ferrari themselves.
“I think the most important thing for a racing team is to try to always improve,” said Vasseur. “Honestly, we want to improve, all the team is motivated by the same target and we have to, step by step, come back to the top of the midfield. We know that it's a long path but we are working on it and we are improving step by step.”
We’ll get a chance to see if they have improved when the Alfa Romeo C41 as driven in anger for the first time at pre-season testing, set to be held at the Bahrain International Circuit on March 12-14 – ahead of the season-opening Bahrain Grand Prix on March 28.
