There was no bold livery to admire at Alfa Romeo Racing this morning in Barcelona, but the team's 2019 car still looked sharp in its standard white and 'rosso' colors.

While the Sauber name has disappeared from the team's official denomination, the Swiss outfit's identity still appears on the C38, with "Sauber Engineering" stamped on the lower part of the engine cover.

Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi will share testing duties this week, with the Finn kicking things off today.

Check out the gallery of pictures from this morning's official presentation.

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
