In under a month’s time F1’s drivers and teams will swing back into action in Barcelona, and Alfa Romeo will get their first morning of pre-season testing underway by taking the covers off their new F1 machine.

The Swiss-based team, who will field Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi in 2020, look set to reveal their Ferrari-powered car at 0815 local time – 45 minutes before running commences.
