About De Tomaso-Alfa Romeo
De Tomaso-Alfa Romeo denotes the Italian chassis-and-engine combination that paired De Tomaso cars with Alfa Romeo power in Formula 1, appearing in the World Championship between 1961 and 1962. In the sport's earlier decades it was common for results to be recorded by the specific chassis-engine pairing, and this combination represents one such entry across 2 seasons.

Drivers to appear for the team included Roberto Bussinello and Nino Vaccarella.
