AlphaTauri releases first images of AT03's track debut ahead of F1 testing

The Italian team completed a shakedown of the car last week with Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda at the wheel.

The Faenza outfit revealed its all-new car on February 14, using a show car with a revised navy and white livery.

AlphaTauri and sister team Red Bull have been relatively secretive about their all-new challengers with the latter completing a private test at Silverstone, with no high-quality images being released by the team.

AlphaTauri has decided to release the first on-track images, just a day before pre-season testing in Barcelona.

Teams will have three days at the Spanish venue to get back up to speed ahead of the second test and season-opener in Bahrain.

Gasly and Tsunoda form AlphaTauri’s driver line-up for 2022, with the pair guiding it to a strong sixth in the constructors’ championship.

The Frenchman was consistently impressive, scoring a podium in Baku in 2021, while teammate Tsunoda struggled in his rookie year.

He did, however, show flashes of brilliance, scoring points on his debut in Bahrain and finishing fourth at the season-ending Abu Dhabi Grand Prix.

AlphaTauri’s close alliance with senior team Red Bull will likely mean it will once again sit comfortably in the midfield in 2022.
