Admittedly, every Formula One team is looking forward to the potentially game-changing 2021 season. However, the 2020 rules will largely mirror that of the 2019 Formula One season. Irrespective of that, Alfa Romeo are planning a complete revamp of their 2020 beast.
Speaking to Sport.pl, Alfa Romeo boss Frederic Vasseur admitted that teams normally opt to develop their 2019 cars for the coming season. However, Alfa Romeo will swim against the tide and start from scratch for the 2020 Formula One season.
