Alfa Romeo confirm C42 launch for AFTER Spanish test

Alfa Romeo has become the seventh team to announce its 2022 launch plans with the covers set to be lifted AFTER the first pre-season running.

Alfa Romeo will officially unveil the C42 in an online ceremony on February 27, with the first three-day pre-season test beginning on February 23.

This will not be the first time the team's car will be seen, however, with a spokesperson for Alfa Romeo confirming: "We WILL be running the C42 at the test in Barcelona. We will do so with a testing livery before revealing the full beauty on Sunday 27."

Alfa Romeo will race with a brand new driver pairing for the coming season with Valtteri Bottas and rookie Guanyu Zhou replacing Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi.

The Hinwil-based team has run with an interim livery in previous years, with a pair of special Valentine's Day liveries run during shakedown tests in 2019 and '20.

Only Red Bull, Haas and Williams are yet to confirm launch dates for their all-new machinery.
