That's more ferrari thing, teams like to avoid the same design choices where possible to maintain their own unique image

It's nice but I love how clean the AT looks, best looking car on the grid every year since name change. Would prefer without

For sure! It gives the cars just that little hint of extra colour and I'm sure the mechanics would love it

My will to fight for World Championships is very strong: AlphaTauri driver
AlphaTauri driver Pierre Gasly has been the standout driver for the past two seasons. But unfortunately, he could not get a second chance at the Red Bull team.
Gasly won the 2020 Italian GP and came third in Baku 2021 with the Italian team. When asked if it frustrated him not to get a call up to the Red Bull seat, Gasly stated,” No. My desire, my will to fight for World Championships is very strong. I’m in Formula 1 to fight at the top. That motivates me to keep improving.”

“I won’t lie. It’s hard to deliver a season like that. And then when I compare myself to those who got the opportunity for a Red Bull seat, it’s disappointing. Based on the numbers and results, I have delivered a better performance than anyone else on this team.
I hope the AlphaTauri will be as good as it was this season, despite the change in regulations.” said Pierre.
