Sergio Marchionne said
Monday that it is possible that Alfa Romeo will soon have a team
competing in Formula One.
"It's incredible how the Alfa Romeo brand remains in
people's hearts," said Sergio Marchionne, who is the CEO of Alfa
Romeo's parent company FCA and president of Ferrari.
"For that reason we are thinking of it returning to
Formula one racing as our competitor.
"It's important for Alfa Romeo to return. It will be
another competitor".
Alfa Romeo were involved in Formula One from 1950 to 1985
and they also continued to supply engines to teams until 1988.
The team won 11 of the 110 races it took part in and took
the 1950 and 1951 drivers' world championships with Nino Farina
and Juan Manuel Fangio respectively.
