Alfa Romeo Racing showcased its new 'snake skin' C39 at Fiorano last week , but the Swiss outfit unveiled the car's new livery for 2020 in the Barcelona pitlane on Wednesday morning.

Kimi Raikkonen and Antonio Giovinazzi pulled the covers off the new car which Robert Kubica will have the honour to drive first on the opening day of pre-season testing.

Tatiana Calderon was also in attendance at this mroning's unvieling, confirming that she has been retained by Alfa as a development driver for 2020.

Overall, Alfa Romeo has kept its colors unchanged but added the branding of title sponsor - and Kubica's backer - ORLEN.

We've added today's team presentation pictures to last week's batch of shots.

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.
