Alfa Romeo C39
Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi's 2020 Alfa Romeo, a Sauber-run car held back by its customer Ferrari engine.
About the Alfa Romeo C39
Alfa Romeo Racing's C39 had a chassis designed by Jan Monchaux, Luca Furbatto, Lucia Conconi, Alessandro Cinelli and Nicolas Hennel, powered by a customer Ferrari 065 power unit. Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi drove it in their second season together, and on its delayed debut at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix Giovinazzi scored two points for ninth. Like the works Ferrari SF1000 and the Haas VF-20, it was hampered by a lack of power, especially at power-dependent circuits, and usually raced near the back with Haas and Williams. The car improved during the season, with Räikkönen finishing 12th ahead of both works Ferraris at the Belgian Grand Prix, and the team scored eight points to finish eighth.
