AlphaTauri AT01 is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Scuderia AlphaTauri for the 2020 Formula One World Championship. The AT01 marked a significant milestone for the team, being the first car to race under the AlphaTauri name following the rebranding from Scuderia Toro Rosso in 2020. The car made its competitive debut at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix, driven by Daniil Kvyat and Pierre Gasly.

Development and Design[edit | edit source]

The AlphaTauri AT01 was developed to comply with the 2020 Formula One regulations. Its design focused on improving aerodynamic efficiency and incorporating the latest power unit technology from Honda, which supplied engines to both AlphaTauri and its sister team, Red Bull Racing. The AT01 featured a striking livery, a departure from the traditional colors of its predecessor, symbolizing the team's new identity and ambitions within the sport.

Performance[edit | edit source]

Throughout the 2020 season, the AT01 demonstrated competitive performance, achieving notable results in a highly contested midfield. The highlight of the season came at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix, where Pierre Gasly secured an unexpected victory, marking the first win for the AlphaTauri team and the second for the team's history, including its time as Toro Rosso. This victory underscored the AT01's capabilities and the team's strategic acumen.

Technical Specifications[edit | edit source]

The AlphaTauri AT01 was equipped with a Honda RA620H 1.6L V6 turbocharged engine, in line with the hybrid power unit regulations of the era. The car featured advanced aerodynamics, including a sophisticated front wing design to manage airflow and a tightly packaged rear end to maximize the diffuser's efficiency. The AT01 also utilized a gearbox and suspension components supplied by Red Bull Technology, benefiting from the close technical partnership between AlphaTauri and Red Bull Racing.

Legacy[edit | edit source]

The AT01's success during the 2020 season played a crucial role in establishing AlphaTauri's identity as a competitive team in Formula One, distinct from its origins as Toro Rosso. The car's design and performance set a foundation for the team's future developments and ambitions in the sport. The victory at Monza, in particular, remains a highlight in the team's history, symbolizing the potential for success against the sport's more established teams.
