Promising year ahead for AlphaTauri?

AlphaTauri team principal, Franz Tost, sounded certain that the AT03 has a lot of surprises in store for the fans. “I am excited to finally reveal what our 2022 Formula 1 car will look like,” Tost said.

It is a completely new era for F1 and we hope that this package will be very strong, following last year’s success. Once again, we have worked closely with AlphaTauri (Red Bull’s clothing brand) to launch our new car and I think we’ve managed to deliver something very special.

Meanwhile, Gasly admitted that AlphaTauri’s 2022 prospects will remain uncertain till he hits the track next week in Barcelona. “This year sees a huge change to the car as, due to the new regulations, the look and design is completely different, so the team has had to start from a clean sheet of paper,” the Frenchman said.

We won’t know the true performance of the AT03 until we get it out on track at pre-season testing in Barcelona but so far, I think it looks great and I am very excited to get this new season started.
