Scuderia AlphaTauri has announced that on Saturday 11 February it will unveil the livery (coloring) of the 2023 F1 car “AT04” in New York.
Scuderia AlphaTauri posted on social media on Friday a rendering of an F1 car indoors on the famous Brooklyn Bridge with the words “February 11 NYC” and “Save the Date”.
Although AT04 will be unveiled in New York City, the hashtag #liverylaunch is attached, emphasizing that this is just a coloring announcement. Therefore, the current AlphaTauri AT04 is very likely to be officially presented on February 23, the first day of pre-season testing in Bahrain.
Scuderia AlphaTauri failed to deliver the results expected by the new regulation and finished ninth in the constructors’ standings. They were far behind sister team Red Bull Racing, who won both title battles.
The team’s biggest problem was the inconsistency of the cars. There were weekends where Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda were able to fight for points, but there were also weekends where they struggled to get past Q1.
Pierre Gasly said mid-season the team needed a big reset to make a decent profit.
“To be honest, I don’t have a complete answer as to why we seem to be struggling more than other teams in midfield,” Gasly said.
“So I think we need to take a step back and look at the whole situation, the big picture, what are we doing aerodynamically, what direction are we going, how did we decide to use the budget cap. I think, because at the start of the season we were already at the limit”.
Pierre Gasly, who will move to the Alpine F1 team in 2023, recently revealed that Scuderia AlphaTauri will be changing the concept to the ‘AT04’.
“Last season I was the best midfielder, but this year I’m back in midfield. Who knows what will happen next season, maybe AlphaTauri has completely changed the concept of the car. I’ll be back in the fight because I’m out there, it’s hard to say,” he explained Pierre Gasly.
Nick de Vries, who replaced Pierre Gasly, made an impressive F1 debut in ninth place for Williams at the Italian Grand Prix, replacing Alexander Albon, and won a contract with Scuderia AlphaTauri. .
