Formula 1 2018: the season where heritage is on duty.

This year, the "need for speed" seems to have felt a need to go back to its roots. ALFA ROMEO IS BACK IN FORMULA 1 AFTER 30 YEARS. BRUCE MCLAREN´S PAPAYA-ORANGE CAR GETS A REVIVAL. MARCUS ERICSSON´S HELMET INSPIRED BY ICONIC FORMULA 1 SWEDE DRIVER RONNIE PETERSON. Distinctive details of a golden era when things were not better or worse, they were just different. A bond brings the past and the present together to Formula One, they both have a passion in common, the one for which time never changes, it is the passion for racing.

The C37 is powered by a Ferrari power unit into a Swede-Italian soul. The dark red-white car is elegant, its rich heritage notorious.
