Wꩲatch Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda’s first outing in the all-new AlphaTauri AT02 Formula 1 car at a filming day at Imola last ဣmonth.

AlphaTauri was the second tea𝔉m to launch its 2021 car ahead of the season, on𝓡ly after McLaren.

The AT02 mainta🍌ins the same colours it used in 2020 with a slight revis♒ion.

Six days after unveiliꦛng its new car, AlphaTauri completed a shakedown at the A🌄utodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari in Northern Italy on February 25.

As ꦦpermitted by the F1 regulations, teams are allowed to complete 100km of running on Pirelli demonstration tyres.

This handed Gasly an꧅d rookie Tsuonda a brief tas🐼te of 2021 machinery ahead of pre-season testing which finally gets underway on Friday in Bahrain.

Tsuonda had already tested Toro Rosso’s 2019 STR14 earlier in February as the Japanese driver mak༺es the step up from Formul💎a 2 after an impressive first season.

The 20-yea💫r-old finished the season third in the standings, just 15 points behind eventual chamꦓpion and Haas F1 driver Mick Schumacher.

2020 was the Faenza-based team's strongest season to date i🍌n terms of points scored.

Gasly and Daniil Kvyat scored 107 points on the team’s way to seventh in th💙e constructors’ championship.

The Frenchman took a memorable win at the Italian Grand Prix at Monza - the team’s second in Italy after winning there in 2008 with S🗹ebastian Vettel.

Looking ahead to pre-season testing, Gasly will give the AT02 its first extended run out o𒁏n day one before handing over to🌳 Tsuonda in the afternoon session on Friday.
