Story
The 2023 Alfa Romeo F1® Team Stake C43 represents the final chapter of Alfa Romeo’s modern Formula 1 story. Raced by Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu throughout the 2023 Formula One World Championship, the C43 was the last car to compete under the Alfa Romeo name before the marque’s partnership with Sauber came to an end at the conclusion of the season.
Built in-house by skilled experts at F1 Authentics, this phenomenal Show Car has undergone hundreds of hours of dedication. Through the team’s unwavering commitment to perfection, every step of the build, from using the CAD to developing the correct paint colours to creating the composites, adds to the story of unparalleled artistry.
This official show car recreates the C43 in its striking Las Vegas livery, produced for Formula 1’s highly anticipated return to Las Vegas in November 2023. A distinctive piece from a landmark weekend, the design gives an already significant car an added connection to one of the most memorable events of the season.
The Final Alfa Romeo F1® Season
Driven by ten-time Grand Prix winner Valtteri Bottas and Chinese racer Zhou Guanyu, the C43 contested all 22 rounds of the 2023 season. The team opened its campaign with a points-scoring performance in Bahrain, where Bottas brought the car home in eighth place, while further top-10 finishes across the year helped Alfa Romeo secure ninth in the Constructors’ Championship with 16 points.
For Bottas, 2023 marked his second season with the Hinwil-based squad following his move from Mercedes, bringing considerable race-winning experience to the team. Alongside him, Zhou completed his second full Formula 1 campaign and continued to establish himself on the grid, contributing six of the team’s championship points.
This particular Show Car may be of strong interest to collectors in Asia, given the presence of Zhou as part of the Alfa Romeo team in 2023. Zhou remains the first, and so far only, F1 driver from China, he contributed six points to the campaign for the team in 2023.
The season also carried additional significance as the conclusion of Alfa Romeo’s six-year association with Sauber. Having first returned to Formula 1 as a title sponsor in 2018 before competing as Alfa Romeo Racing from 2019, the famous Italian marque departed the grid following the 2023 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. That makes the C43 the final Formula 1 car to carry the Alfa Romeo name from this era – and an important legacy piece for collectors.
A Standout Las Vegas Livery
For Formula 1’s return to Las Vegas, Alfa Romeo unveiled a special version of the C43’s livery, giving the car a distinctive appearance for the inaugural Las Vegas Grand Prix on the spectacular street circuit.
This official show car captures that one-off identity, combining the unmistakable form of a contemporary Formula 1 machine with a livery tied to both a major moment in the sport’s recent history and Alfa Romeo’s farewell season.
With the team no longer competing under the Alfa Romeo name, examples representing this final-generation C43 have taken on an additional historical significance. Rather than simply recreating a current race car, this show car represents a completed chapter in Formula 1 history.
An exceptional display piece for private collectors, corporate spaces, hospitality venues or motorsport collections, the 2023 Alfa Romeo F1® Team Stake C43 Vegas Livery Show Car offers the presence of a full-scale Formula 1 car alongside a direct connection to the marque’s final season on the grid.
This car is currently located in the UK and is available for immediate dispatch.
