These parts include the fuel tank, rear suspension, and exterior structure of the gearbox (the interior components of the gearbox are still Ferrari-sourced). Alfa Romeo developed several major components in-house rather than sourcing them from Ferrari as it and its predecessor team Sauber had done since Sauber became a Ferrari customer team in 2010. It packages its Ferrari engine much the same as the works team, with wide sidepods featuring cooling louvres over the top. The C42 has the shortest wheelbase of any 2022 car. Īlfa Romeo used push-rod suspension on both the front and rear, in contrast to the push-rod front and pull-rod rear that had become standard in the turbo-hybrid era.

Initial design and development īottas commented that the early version of the C42 ran on the Alfa Romeo simulator did not handle significantly differently to the 2021 cars. However, ahead of the car's unveiling, Alfa Romeo stated that the car would not carry the C40 but instead carry the C42 designation to avoid the sequence of C39, C41, C40, which could have been confusing. When these were delayed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, a new car, the C41, had to be developed based on the C39 for the interim regulations. The new-generation car had been internally allocated the designation C40 in anticipation of new regulations for the 2021 season. The C42 follows the C41, which in turn follows the C39. Development of all new generation cars was thus paused from 28 March 2020 until 31 December 2020.
However, due to the disruption of the COVID-19 pandemic, the regulations were delayed until 2022. The new generation of technical regulations were intended to be introduced in the 2021 season. Further information: 2022 Formula One World Championship § Technical regulations
