Alfa Romeo: Filming day

As McLaren officially launched their MCL34 to the world, Alfa Romeo quietly got on with some on-track business.

The team formerly known as Sauber are officially launching their new car in the pit lane at the Circuit de Catalunya just before the first pre-season test gets underway on Monday.

Alfa Romeo were using the Fiorano track as part of a filming day, where cars are permitted to rack up to 100km of running.

The car was sporting a broody red camo livery…

And was sporting a rather curious looking front wing compared to others we have seen so far…

Kimi Raikkonen took to the wheel…

If it's legal, that's a very clever front wing arrangement.
Also, love the sidepods, reminds me of the dropship in Aliens. https://t.co/4IdYcuPbnz
