Alfa Romeo hit the track with testing livery
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…
