Although now operated as Alfa Romeo Racing, nothing changed behind the scenes as the new C38 was still developed at the Hinwil, Switzerland factory and powered by the latest Ferrari power unit.
Over the winter, much of the work concentrated on the subtle regulation changes. Aimed at making overtaking easier, the revisions included a wider but simpler front wing, lower bargeboards and a taller and wider front wing. The evolution of the C37 was created with oversight from new technical director Simone Resta.
Signed to drive the Alfa Romeo Racing C38 were Ferrari junior Antonio Giovinazzi and 2007 World Champion Kimi Raikkonen, who returned to the team where he started his Formula 1 career back in 2001. Page 1 of 1
