Alfa Romeo finally revealed the liver of their challenger for the 2022 Formula 1 season. The Italian team is the last to unveil their car, but is confident of being competitive in what is sure to be an incredible F1 season. Interestingly, Alfa Romeo opted to showcase their livery after the first of two pre-season test sessions and ran a camouflaged car during testing.

As with all cars competing in the 2022 F1 season, the car is a radical departure from last year's car and features a new ground-effect floor, updated aerodynamic package, and 18-inch, low profile tyres. The new technical regulations have been designed to allow closer racing and minimise the performance gaps between teams.

Alfa Romeo's C42 will be driven by 10-times race winner Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, the first F1 driver from China and the only rookie on the grid in 2022.
