Presenting the new look of Alpha Tauri, the AT02. AlphaTauri became the second team to reveal its 2021 F1 livery, the Italian squad unveiling the new AT02 that Pierre Gasly and F1 debutant Yuki Tsunoda will pilot this season – and team boss Franz Tost has made his target for the new season clear. McLaren was the first, click here to know about the new MCL35M.
The second-ever AlphaTauri to be fielded in F1, the AT02 features Honda’s new-for-2021 power unit on the inside and a brand new livery on the outside, as the team looks to build on a strong 2020, which saw Pierre Gasly win the Italian Grand Prix, while Gasly and former teammate Daniil Kvyat’s ultimate haul of 107 points was the most ever secured in the history of either AlphaTauri or Toro Rosso.
Also new at the team is Tsunoda, the 20-year-old Japanese driver replacing Kvyat after finishing the 2020 Formula 2 season in third place. AlphaTauri has been busy getting Tsunoda – one of three drivers to step up from Formula 2 this year, and the first-ever F1 driver to have been born after the millennium – prepped for his F1 debut with a number of outings in Toro Rosso and AlphaTauri machinery, including driving a Toro Rosso STR14 at Italian track Misano earlier this month.

Team Principal Tost has set his squad and new driver line-up an ambitious target for the 2021 season.
“In 2020 Scuderia AlphaTauri was a midfield team, we were fighting successfully against the other teams like McLaren, Renault, and Racing Point but our target for this year is to consistently be at the top of this midfield pack and to improve further," he said.
please welcome the newest addition to the AlphaTauri family, the AT02! 🔥
