The drivers were also in the pits rocking a camouflage outfit, so I guess there will be some merch too. Maybe one of their sponsors? It looked pretty cool.

With that helmet looks like some just covered it all in wrapping paper.
Not sure they have much reason to hide stuff..!

Did Alfa even field a car today? All I can see is four wheels and some sponsor decals.
