Alfa Romeo and motorsport
Alfa Romeo is synonymous with racing and technological prestige all over the world. The undisputed star of pre-war Grand Prix seasons (in 1925, the GP Tipo P2 dominated the first World Championship), Alfa Romeo played a part in Formula 1 as both a manufacturer and an engine supplier. Way back when it made its debut in 1950 and 1951, Alfa Romeo won the first Drivers’ World Championship, with Nino Farina and Juan Manuel Fangio. From 1976 to 1979, Alfa Romeo participated as an engine supplier. After returning in 1979 as a constructor, Alfa Romeo finished sixth in the 1983 Constructors’ Championship, its best result. The company then withdrew its team from Formula 1 in 1985.
