A few days ago, Alfa Romeo rang in Valentines Day with a striking black livery with red outlines. However, it was not an official launch and they were only performing a shakedown. Fast-forward to four days later and the fans were pumped to see the new car unveiled by Kimi Raikkonen [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/kimi-raikkonen/] and Antonio Giovinazzi [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/antonio-giovinazzi/].

The 2019 car was given the ‘If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it’ treatment, albeit with a few minor cosmetic changes. The actual racing livery largely resembles the 2018 livery and the fans were none too pleased with the outcome. https://twitter.com/Insidef1/status/1097398157367889922 Here are the reactions below https://twitter.com/h8mpy/status/1097404538393382913
