The Alfa Romeo team will be the last to reveal their 2019 beast to the world on the 18th of February. But that won’t stop them from teasing the fans and getting them to guess the livery. Recently, the team posted a cryptic tweet to wish fans a happy Valentine’s day. Interestingly, the picture looked uncannily like an F1 car livery.
