Alfa Romeo has made “the biggest jump of any team” ahead of the 2021 season. “You can also really feel that there is more power.”. Former F1 driver Karl Wendlinger also agrees that Alfa Romeo has made a significant leap. “In a direct comparison, Kimi Raikkonen in the Alfa Romeo built by Sauber was better than Carlos Sainz.”. Former Ferrari engineer Luigi Mazzola also thinks the Maranello team and its customer Alfa Romeo could be neck-and-neck in 2021. “Ferrari is not bad in my view, but they were fighting with Alfa Romeo and Alpha Tauri. Going by the tests alone, I would put Alfa Romeo behind McLaren.
