The Alfa Romeo Racing C39 is the Formula 1 - racing cars from Alfa Romeo Racing for the Formula 1 World Championship 2020 . It is the 28th Formula 1 car from Sauber and the second to be registered as Alfa Romeo Racing . It was presented on February 19, 2020 at the Circuit de Barcelona-Catalunya .

Since the renaming of the team is purely a title sponsorship, the previous nomenclature will be continued when naming the car . As with all Sauber vehicles, the designation is composed of the C for Christiane, the wife of team founder Peter Sauber , followed by a consecutive number.

Technology and development

Like all Formula 1 vehicles of 2020, the C39 is a rear-wheel drive monoposto with a monocoque made of carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) . In addition to the monocoque, many other parts of the vehicle, including the body parts and the steering wheel, are made of CFRP. The brake discs are also made from a composite material reinforced with carbon fibers.

The C39 is the successor to the Alfa Romeo Racing C38 . Since the technical regulations for the 2020 season remained largely stable, the vehicle is largely a further development.

Is driven the C39 by a 1.6-liter V-6 engine by Ferrari in the middle of the vehicle with turbocharger and a 120  kW strong electric motor ; so it is a hybrid electric vehicle . The force transmits a sequential with paddle shifters operated eight-speed transmission. The vehicle has only two pedals, an accelerator pedal (right) and a brake pedal (left). Just like many other functions, the clutch , which is only needed when starting from a standstill, is operated via a lever on the steering wheel.

The total width of the vehicle is 2000 mm, the width between the front and rear axles 1600 mm, the height 950 mm. The front wing has a width of 2000 mm, the rear wing of 1050 mm and a height of 820 mm. The diffuser is 175 mm high and 1050 mm wide. The car is equipped with 305 mm wide front tires and 405 mm wide rear tires from the standard supplier Pirelli , which are mounted on 13-inch wheels.

Like all Formula 1 vehicles since 2011 , the C39 has a Drag Reduction System (DRS), which reduces the drag of the vehicle on the straights by flattening part of the rear wing if it is allowed to be used. The DRS is also activated with a switch on the steering wheel of the car.

The C39 is equipped with the Halo system , which provides additional protection for the driver's head.
