F1 | Alfa Romeo, Stellantis will decide the future in the top category

Alfa Romeo is now an integral part of the new Stellantis automotive group, born from the merger between FCA and PSA. The merger between FIAT and Peugeot automatically incorporates all the brands belonging to the two automotive giants, and it is normal to think that there will be a redefinition of the production plans of the individual houses of the new Franco-Italian group.

Alfa Romeo, a brand that the late Sergio Marchionne tried to relaunch in every way, has been involved in Formula 1 in collaboration with Sauber since 2018. In the ideas of the former CEO of FCA, Alfa Romeo should have been a real Cavallino's own satellite team, which is remarkably competitive.

The road immediately appeared more uphill, with a project that then seemed a little abandoned to itself, certainly thanks to the passing of the man who had pushed harder than anyone to bring Alfa back to F1. The contract with Sauber will expire at the end of 2021 and it is not yet clear what the intentions of Carlos Tavares, the CEO of Stellantis, will be.

According to Gazzetta dello Sport, Alfa Romeo's future in F1 will depend on the industrial plans of the new car giant, ready to also redefine the sporting activities of all the group's brands.

Therefore, the Biscione's permanence in F1 is not so obvious. Per aspera ad astra, it would be appropriate to say.
