Alfa Romeo Showcases Life Behind The Scenes In Formula 1 In New Documentary
Posted On: September 4, 2022

The popular Netflix series, Drive to Survive has played a significant role in the renewed interest in F1.

Though popular, it has been criticized for dramatizing certain relationships and skipping over lesser-known teams to follow the controversy. The series almost exclusively follows the drivers and the team bosses, with little attention given to the real heroes behind the scenes.

Alfa Romeo F1 Team ORLEN hopes to fix that before it bows out of the sport at the end of the 2023 season. It launched an all-new docuseries on YouTube, which gives the public a behind-the-scenes look at the daily routine of over 500 experts who all support Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu.

You can view the first episode below, while the remaining four episodes will be posted on Alfa Romeo's official social media pages and YouTube channel throughout the 2022 racing season. The first episode is called "Before we hit the ground," and it shows the team's efforts into a season before it even starts. While the drivers are enjoying two months of vacation, the team is back at the head office, already working on the next season.

According to Alfa, the "opening episode displays the abundance of emotion, anticipation, and mental and physical preparation, which is rarely seen outside the F1 world."rnThese activities include negotiations, aerodynamic development, strategies for the upcoming year, and planning an event to showcase the new car to the world. The episode also focuses on the relationship between Alfa Romeo and Sauber. The Alfa Romeo F1 team is unlike any other team on the grid. Sauber provides the technical know-how and management structure, and Alfa pays the famous F1 team to race under its own banner and with its own unique livery. This is likely why Audi's entry into the F1 world is closely connected to Sauber.

"'Beyond the Visible' is an ambitious project that perfectly represents the values of the brand," says Cristiano Fiorio, Alfa Romeo F1 Manager. "Alfa Romeo [...] represents noble Italian sportiness and has always distinguished itself throughout its history by a bold attitude capable of transferring visceral emotions to all car and performance enthusiasts. The 'Beyond the Visible' project is no exception: engaging and inclusive, true to the brand's DNA." Several behind-the-scenes stories will be told in the five episodes of the all-digital project: from strategic choices and driver training to the very complicated logistics, from innovative technological solutions to the endless resources invested in research and development.

We suspect the final episode will provide more insight into Alfa's reasons for leaving the sport, but we suspect it might have something to do with the brand's poor sales performance of late. Alfa Romeo is on the verge of going electric and revamping its brand image, which means it no longer needs F1 to sell epic ICE cars like the Alfa Giulia Quadrifoglio.

It's a real pity, especially since Alfa Romeo's racing heritage is so strong. After all, Enzo Ferrari himself raced an Alfa.

Their overpriced STELVIO 2019 13k miles let me down twice already for battery related problems. Electrical needed 2 trips to the garage and is still not working. Paint coming off the bumper and fuel van deforming. 1 day waiting and counting for being rescued after another electrical fail. 7 phone calls to an indifferent customer service could not spare me from waiting such a long time .... and that would be a Premium brand ? Alfa Romeo ... all show and no go,

I bought a new Stelvio Milano Editzione in September 2019.In May 2021 the brake pad warning light illuminated at 8,500 miles.Given the mileage, I assumed it was a fault with the warning light.When I took the car to my nearest dealer I was informed that the rear discs were heavily worn and pitted and that the rear pads had less than 1mm of friction material left. They also confirmed that they wouldnt be covered under the cars 5 year warranty which had been a key consideration in my buying process.The replacement cost was 575.I asked them to clarify why the rear pads and discs were effectively destroyed after only 8,500 miles, while the fronts - which do the bulk of the stopping - were virtually brand new.They were unable to provide an answer.As I needed the car back, I paid the repair bill and kept the displaced discs and pads for the inevitable argument.After contacting Alfa Romeo UK and eventually threatening them with court action, they agreed in writing on the 4th June to cover the replacement cost of the discs and 50% of the pads, amounting to 430.I provided them with my bank details on the 5th June.On the 6th July I had still not received the refund so emailed them again.On the 8th July I received a reply confirming that my refund would be made within 28 days.Perhaps predictably, this didnt happen.I therefore emailed them again on the 6th August which generated a call back to tell me they �couldnt find a director to sign off my refund.�I spent 50,000 with Alfa Romeo, yet after two months they apparently cant rustle up a 430 refund, as promised in writing???After a further month of getting the runaround but no money, Im now at the point where I feel I have no choice but to recover the monies via the courts.Alfa, I love my Stelvio. It does everything I want. its practical; quick; good in snow; and other than the brakes, has been utterly faultless.However what you laughingly refer as a premium brand customer service, truly stinks.So sad.
