Alfa Romeo reveal last car on F1 2022 grid

Alfa Romeo have revealed their car for the new era - an eye-catching livery of red and white - completing the grid for the new Formula One season.

The C42, powered by a new Ferrari engine, is a subtle nod to the past and the heritage of Alfa Romeo and Sauber Motorsport, in the Hinwil team's 30th year in F1.

After five years with Mercedes, Valtteri Bottas signed a multi-year deal with the Hinwil-based team and the Finn has been suitably impressed by the new car.

"I think the livery is really beautiful, the Alfa Romeo Centro Stile did a brilliant job," said the 32-year-old.

"It's my first car at Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN, of course, which makes it special, and I am really looking forward to being on the grid in Bahrain with it. What is exciting is that we have no idea how that first race is going to pan out."

Guanyu Zhou, who this season will become the first Chinese Formula One driver, made his testing debut in a camouflage livery car.

Speaking about the red and white look, the 22-year-old said: "I am fully pumped up for the season and seeing the C42 in the livery in which I will race it definitely makes it real.

"We are at the beginning of a new era, with new cars and new regulations, and this creates an opportunity for all teams to make progress since we are all starting from scratch.

"I can't wait to be on the grid with this car and work with my team to bring home the results we are targeting together."

Teams will head to Bahrain for the another three-day test from March 10-12 before the season-opener in the island kingdom on March 20 - live on Sky Sports.
