The team Alpha Tauri announced this Thursday the date of presentation of its new car for 2021, which will be called AT02, the result of the initials of Alpha Tauri and of being the second year that he Red Bull ‘B’ team receives is termed as the clothing brand of energy drinks. The team, based in Faenza, will present its new car on February 19, coinciding with Alfa Romeo.
Huge changes in the car’s decoration are not expected as they did last year, when Alpha Tauri se presented to the world premiering the colors white and blue together with its new structure name. In a year of transition, since in 2022 major changes in the regulations will be implemented, the cars will not undergo major changes and will have to reduce their aerodynamics, and due to the ban on developing a new chassis, it is expected that this team, as’ younger brother ‘of Red Bull, inherit everything you can from Red Bull of 2020 to take a step forward in their times.
Sitting in the new AT02 will repeat Pierre Gasly, winner of the past F1 Italian GP before Sainz in an absolutely crazy race, and next to him will be a ‘rookie’ in whom there are many hopes, the young Japanese Yuki Tsunoda. The Japanese man, a man from the Red Bull Young Pilots Academy and Honda’s protégé, may be a key piece for Honda finally deciding to give its support (although not official) to Red Bull so that those of energy drinks create their engines from 2022 in Austria.
