Alfa Romeo launched its 2023 F1 car, the C43, and amazingly, it’s an actual, real* 2023 F1 car! From a new red and black livery, to interesting floor strakes, a development in the Alfa Romeo Audi partnership and more, Alex Kalinauckas and Martyn Lee discuss the first real launch of the F1 2023 season.
*Well, as close as we’re going to get until we see the cars on track at testing, of course…

Don't. Use. Airpods. As. Microphone.
It sounds terrible!
Those are great headphones for voice calls, but not to record a video!
what a beatiful work of art! remember this photo! and remember how ugly it will be when AUDI takes over..:)
Not only the car, also Valtteri has a new livery, moustache and mullet. Good on him…
IT'S A WEIGHT SAVING DESIGN!
Zak’s put on weight
Ferrari with black stripe livery
Audi from what it seems like is already showing their racing heritage. If we sit here and think they didn’t have a hand in the development of this car; I think we are lying to ourselves.
The main reason they started so well in 2022 was because they had a light car, once others caught up that changed
Those floor edges though….and the new roll hoop thank god
Can't wait to put some win stickers on my alfa
Are sidepods in this year? Looks like Alfa remember the Area Rule
The car looks prettier this year. I think Sauber is going to be stronger in 2023.
I didn't think they'd use the center supported roll hoop after Zhou's crash last season.
You can see where they're focusing on, they're not showing some key details on purpose though. I suspect everyone is generally moving in the same direction aero wise.
Now we only need the FIA to make race directors not decide the championships.
The car looks good!
Love the new look but lets be serious for a moment, if they're still going to use their in house gearbox nonsense, its just going to repeat last years car. Its bad enough they're stuck with that also unreliable Ferrari engine.
That livery looks sexy af…
Brits: oh the British media isn’t bias at all!! Meanwhile the British media literally has Lewis Hamilton posters on their walls with the British flag….
Managed/Operated by Sauber and partially owned by Audi, might as well just slap Lamborghini brand on it after the Alfa Romeo departed next year😈😍😜 Other than that I will miss that Cherry Red metallic colour, I always love the Alfa Romeo Rosso Competizione shade; great job on the livery Team 👍🙌
Alex speaks so fast and "swallows" so many words that I can barely understand what he is talking 😫 Please fix this otherwise there is no point of these videos.
I liked last year colors of alfa romeo
Alfa + Audi = Aldi
When it comes to livery, I really don't like it. The C42 was the greatest looking car of all. The best of the car was the hubcap, which was red and white. An almost perfect looking livery, if it wouldn't have been made too simple
Free quality F1 video content from Autosport, do we have a proper competitor to The Race channel? Whatever the case happy to have more free F1 news on YT
I don't like the new host. That's all.
Helf burnt Ferrari
ALDI, the supermarket are sponsoring an F.1. team?
These fake badges like Aston Martin, Alfa Romeo, Gulf, even Red Bull Powertrains right now (they are buying the Honda power unit and aren't even allowed to make changes to the engine) annoy the hell out of me. Why would you want to have the credits as an industry player for something a different company does? It's basically you telling the world that you aren not on that level and want to ride along. It's the brand equivalent of how kids put in between the spokes of their bike some playing cards to make it sound like their bike has an engine.
Vasseur is obviously one of the most legitimate team bosses. But when it came to the infrastructure… Was Vasseur really doing a good job? They got all these people from Ferrari in, up to the point that the spoken language in Hinwill changed from Swiss-German to Italian. They gave Ferrari a huge say in that team and instead of just an engine actually bought the whole package meaning Sauber didn't design any of the implementation of the power train didn't design their own gearbox either. Safe costs? Sure. But there was the alternative to work with Honda which Vasseur cancelled. He said it was because he didn't want to work with McLaren and use their gearbox, which I find hard to believe since there's talks of using a standard gearbox in F1. But also, surely Sauber and/or Honda could've designed a gearbox within a year?
More importantly, Sauber got in financial trouble. Honda had the money. With Honda, they would've saved the infrastructure in which in Hinwill they could've done much of the design themselves still, they would have the money to survive, they would've held on to their own identity and independence. I mean, Ferrari even called back Simone Resta, Sauber's main designer, once they needed him. And Giovinazzi was never good enough for F1 if we're honest.
Vasseur tried to make the team as much into an operation he could run as a junior formula team, I feel. Also, the choice for a far over-the-hill Raikkonen didn't make any sense.
When it comes to Seidl and what he did with Porsche…. He had to go to the VAG bosses to make Audi help them out with that car by sharing their data, let's not forget about that. The fact that VAG had two teams in WEC allowed them to use double the norms in everything that was restricted by regulation if it was practical.
But yes, Seidl has a track record of building an infrastructure. It remains to be seen how good his work at McLaren went, but still. Certainly an improvement over Vasseur who, again is great at the stuff related directly to racing, but not so much building and running an infrastructure. At Ferrari he won't have that responsibility, so that'll probably go fine.
These launches are getting stupid
Does it still have the detachable roll hoop? It was a really good innovation last season.
I think that sauber is in a really good place at the moment despite all the imminent changes! Good drivers (yes both of them), a good main sponsor handing it over to a in my opinion even better sponsor and a highly competent team. In a sense sauber is the new force india in therms of making the most out of a limitet budget
