Rumor: Alfa Romeo F1 drops Ferrari gearbox and suspension

Rumor has it that Alfa Romeo has developed their own gearbox and suspension for the 2022 F1 season, further reducing their dependence on Ferrari.

According to a report by Motorsport Italia, the team’s decision was reportedly influenced by their differing aero philosophy compared to the Scuderia. The Swiss’s 2022 car is reportedly incompatible with the Ferrari-designed suspension due to their differing design choices.

Since 2018, the Scuderia has been supplying the Hinwil-based outfit with its latest spec power unit, along with a limited number of non-listed parts including rear suspension and gearbox.
