Ahead of the team's official presentation next week in the Barcelona pitlane, Alfa Romeo Racing ORLEN shook down its 2020 C39 at Fiorano on Friday morning.

The Swiss outfit's new car appeared in its shakedown - and Valentine's day - livery, with Kimi Raikkonen behind the wheel.

Alfa also announced on Friday a sponsorship deal with Huski Chocolate, the chocolate drink company which is already involved in F1 with McLaren.

"We are proud to announce this partnership with our friends at Huski Chocolate," said Alfa team boss Fred Vasseur.

"We got to know their brand well at the United States GP last year and we are delighted the success of that initial partnership led to this new deal.

"The Huski chocolate drinks were extremely popular with our team personnel and guests and we’re happy their taste will be with us for the whole of the season."
