Name Alfa Romeo is associated with Formula 1 from the very beginning of the championship of the year 1950. The fact that this name returned to the royal class of motorsport in 21st century is something special.

Frederic Vasseur, team boss Alfa Romeo Racing hopes that the partnership will continue in the long term. Talks are currently underway with the new group stellantis, which was formed by merging the group Fiat Chrysler - which owns Alfa Romeo - and the group PSA. "I think we have a very good and positive conversation with them about extending the contract and I really hope that we will continue our cooperation,”Is Vasseur told colleagues from Motorsport.

"After the merger, they have to sort out the reorganization a bit, but I am happy and very positive at Stellantis ’last statement about the Alfa Romeo brand. They want to be supportive of it and I think Alfa Romeo as a brand is a big advantage for the group. This is also a big advantage for Formula 1 because it is a well-known brand that has been in Formula 1 since the beginning. I hope we can put it all together,”He concluded Vasseur, who hopes that they will be able to conclude the talks successfully and that Alfa Romeo continue to remain in Formula 1.
