EA SPORTS has announced that Alfa Romeo’s 2023 Formula 1 challenger will be ready to drive in F1 22 – before it even hits the track!
The Alfa Romeo C43 livery was unveiled on the 7th of February, with the car set for its first day of official pre-season testing on the 23rd of February at the Sakhir circuit in Bahrain.
The paint scheme is a bold black and red composition, with sections of unpainted carbon fibre helpfully reducing weight (F1 cars’ minimum weight has been decreased by 2kg to 796kg for 2023).
Interestingly, EA SPORTS has omitted Alfa’s crypto betting firm sponsor, in a nod to F1 22’s age rating restrictions (a similar situation to the 2022 McLaren’s nicotine pouch sponsor).
“Fans mean everything to us, and to be able to give them the chance to drive our new Alfa Romeo F1 Team C43 before they even see it on track in real life is something that was never done before in the official F1 video games,” said Alessandro Alunni Bravi, Managing Director of Sauber Group and Alfa Romeo F1 Team Representative.
“We’re proud to be at the leading edge of this pioneering approach, but this is not the whole story: we have a lot more in store, planned for the season, and we can’t wait to show you,” he added intriguingly.
