Alfa Romeo have become the latest Formula 1 team to unveil their car ahead of the 2023 season.
The launch event was held jointly in the Swiss city of Zurich and team’s headquarters in the nearby town of Hinwil.
Alfa Romeo’s new car sees a departure from the traditional red and white livery to a more aggressive red and black which is reflection of their new sponsorship with online gambling platform, Stake.
Valtteri Bottas described the car as “stunning” and is an upgrade from last year’s car which he hopes will see them move higher this year.
“The C43 is finally here, and I cannot wait to bring it out on track. I really like our new livery, I think it’s stunning, and a fine evolution from last year’s one,” Bottas said on the team website.
“It’s been an interesting first season with the team, we made some pretty solid progress together, and now there’s only one direction to follow: up, higher, and better.
“There is obviously still work to do and things to improve, but I am confident we have it in ourselves to aim for even higher results this year. I cannot wait to go back to racing, I am fully charged and eager to get the new season started.”

Alfa Romeo’s car will go for a shake down in Barcelona this week before it hits the track for pre-season testing on February 23-25 in Bahrain. The new season begins a week later on March 5 at the same venue.
Alfa Romeo are the fourth team to launch their 2023 car after Haas, Williams and current constructor champions Red Bull Racing. AlphaTauri will be the next team to launch their car on Saturday in New York City.
