AlphaTauri have become the latest team to announce the reveal date of their 2021 Formula 1 challenger, the AT02, with the covers set to come off on Friday, February 19.
The Italian team, who scored a sensational victory with Pierre Gasly in Monza last year, are looking to build on a seventh place finish in the constructors’ championship last year.
AlphaTauri will give Red Bull and Honda-backed driver Yuki Tsunoda his F1 debut in 2021, the Japanese driver having tested a 2019-car at Imola and Misano in recent weeks as part of his preparations.
