After some successful years prior to alfa romeo's world championship in association with enzo ferrari, the italian team led the origin of formula 1 through its alfetta, counting on legends such as nino farina or juan manuel fangio who turned alfa romeo into one of the most powerful teams in the early years of the competition.

• Races won
• Points scored
• Average points per race
• Car competitiveness
