Alfa Romeo C41
Alfa Romeo's 2021 interim car, rated by analysts as the most improved on the grid over its 2020 equivalent.
About the Alfa Romeo C41
Built by Alfa Romeo Racing as an evolution of the C39 under the rules that carried 2020 cars into 2021, the C41 spent its development tokens on a slimmer nose to redirect air over the bargeboards. It used Ferrari's 065/6 customer power unit and was driven by Kimi Räikkönen and Antonio Giovinazzi in their third season together, with Robert Kubica standing in at the Dutch and Italian Grands Prix after Räikkönen tested positive for COVID-19. Journalists Mark Hughes and Giorgio Piola called it both more powerful and more aerodynamically competitive than the C39, crediting Ferrari's power unit development as well as Alfa Romeo's own work.

- At the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix Kimi Räikkönen's engine cover read 'Dear Kimi, we will leave you alone now', echoing his famous quote from the 2012 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.
