[Other Sport] Great news for Alfa Romeo and F1 fans

[Icy Gull]

Alfa will be back in F1 next season.

I may well be the only NSCer excited by this prospect I accept as I have owned Alfas for most of my adult life. maybe there are others on here?

Cue all the jokes about never finishing a race

When I heard Alfa were back in F1 it did get my interest, only to then find it was just being Saubers principal sponsor

Be interesting to see if it lasts the season without rusting .

Don’t rain on my parade!

I think they are basically taking over the running of the car using 2018 spec Ferrari engines. Not quite as good as a totally independent marque but I will enjoy watching them try to climb up the grid over the next couple of years.

I have a new favourite team and I never had any time for Sauber before

Keep ‘em coming! A reputation that lingers from the 1970’s Alfasud, bad news hangs around for decades!

Hopefully they will change their colour scheme. While this years meant they were easy to spot, it was a bit tacky / indy car for me

It’s the future return of Aston Martin that’s getting me excited, not another Fiat marque.

Oh well just their name stuck on the side of the car then? A Sauber Car with a Ferrari engine?

If my old Alfa 147 Selespeed has anything to go by, expect a "box full of neutrals" to be a common thing that Brundle will say next year

Do Sauber still have connections with Chelsea FC?

Intrresting news. I'm just about to purchase an Alfa so I'll keep an eye out for them.

I had an Alfa 155 saloon, loved that car.

What do you mean not finish a race? It won't even make the first corner before the gearbox is left on the grid.
I hope it doesn't rain because if they do manage to actually get it going it will disintegrate, like wacky races.
Oh and by the way, I love love love Alfa Romeo.
