"Beyond The Visible" Trailer
Heartfelt thanks to the entire Sauber Alfa Romeo F1 Team Orlen and Alfa Romeo Official teams for trusting in our vision since day 1, and to Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu for your impeccable collaboration at all times.
It has been a huge learning experience and a real pride to be able to carry out this project together with Cristiano Fiorio, Steffano Batistuta, Mauro Tonini, and many more.
Special mention to this two great superhuman beings and fortunately now good friends; Peter Cebrian and Yan Lefort, for choosing us (when they were still part of the team) as their first bet to carry out this beautiful project.

"Beyond The Visible" Episode 2 - Trust Is Gained
The second episode of Beyond the Visible, "Trust is gained," puts the spotlight on the intensity and focus with which the two drivers, Valtteri Bottas and Zhou Guanyu, prepare - both mentally and physically - for the 2022 season. It is a preparation made up of intense training sessions and psychological training, grueling athletic trials and technical tests that optimise preparation for each race. Motivation, passion, and concentration become the key to pursuing a single goal: achieving excellence.

"Beyond The Visible" Episode 3 - The Hidden Backbone
A journey of discovery of the complex and detailed organization of the logistics operations behind a Formula One @f1 season. There is so much that goes into organising the transfer of people and materials from one part of the world to another – more than 20 times throughout the year in 2022.
The hospitality building, all paddock material, and the garage that houses the team’s sporting operations are rebuilt from the ground up at every single race, only to be dismantled a few days later. Leading the entire process, with great skill and precision, is a highly specialized team that relentlessly faces long intercontinental transfers, with gruelling shifts to bring to life and nearly immediately dismantle the physical, but ephemeral, structures where the world’s most watched motorsport competition takes place.

"Beyond The Visible" Episode 4 - Measuring The Unmeasurable
The line between winning and losing is thin. And it’s on that line that aerodynamics makes all the difference.
The fourth episode of the Alfa Romeo-designed series, “Measuring the unmeasurable”, focuses on aerodynamics, the science behind an incredible amount of development in F1: controlling the flow of air around the car, its friction and motion is the key behind performance. The team’s designers and engineers master this dark art, driving the development of our car and crafting the upgrades that are taken to the track, week in, week out. The new episode will introduce viewers to the concepts of drag and downforce; to the role played by individual aerodynamic components, such as the front wing; and to the work the engineers of the team do to optimise the car’s set up for the best performance.

"Beyond The Visible" Episode 5 - Monza. Temple Of Speed
The Monza Circuit has always been the stage of legendary memories: a racetrack that 100 years ago marked the beginning of F1 and Alfa Romeo’s racing history.
The fifth and final episode of “Beyond the Visible”, the docuseries created by Alfa Romeo F1 Team during the 2022 season, is out now, with its highlight firmly on one of the most legendary races in the history of motorsport – the Italian Grand Prix in Monza. “Monza – the Temple of Speed” takes viewers behind the scenes and beyond at the team’s home race – in the spiritual home of Alfa Romeo and the setting of some of its most unforgettable victories. First inaugurated in 1922, Monza is a living museum of Italian motorsport. This is where, in 1950, Alfa Romeo won the first Formula One title in history with Nino Farina; this is where Tazio Nuvolari, Juan Manuel Fangio and many other heroes contributed to Alfa Romeo’s sporting tradition during a century of progress and evolution. This, of course, is where the tifosi light up the grandstands with their passion. Over the five episodes of its run, “Beyond the Visible” has offered a unique glimpse into what makes our team what it is. From the drawing board to the racetrack; from the gym to the logistics office – everything that contributes to the success of a Formula One team was exposed and brought to the forefront of our story. It’s been a unique journey behind the scenes of our team, unveiling the passion, the tradition, the innovation that characterises our team. “Beyond the Visible” offered fans of the team what no other series could and, in doing so, wrote another page of Alfa Romeo’s history of noble Italian sportiness.
