Building on Monza's Legacy

The AlphaTauri AT02 arrived in 2021 with Pierre Gasly confirmed as the team's lead driver for a second year, a tenure that had produced one of the sport's most remarkable race victories at Monza just months earlier. Gasly's continued development of the car and his deep understanding of the team's working methods made him an invaluable asset, and the AT02 was designed to build on the aerodynamic foundations of its predecessor. The season saw AlphaTauri positioned comfortably in the midfield and capable of scoring points at circuits that suited the car's characteristics.

Tsunoda Storms Onto the Scene

The biggest news surrounding the AT02 was the arrival of Yuki Tsunoda, the young Japanese driver who had blazed through the Red Bull junior programme with remarkable speed. Tsunoda made an immediate impact in Bahrain, scoring points on debut and announcing himself as one of the most exciting new talents to enter the sport in years. His raw speed was evident from the first session, even if consistency and composure under pressure remained areas for development throughout the year. Tsunoda's arrival represented a significant moment for Japanese motorsport and generated huge interest in the AlphaTauri programme across Asia.

Gasly's Continued Excellence

Gasly delivered another season of excellent performances in 2021, extracting the maximum from the AT02 on multiple occasions and demonstrating the maturity and racecraft that had blossomed since his Monza triumph. His Azerbaijan Grand Prix result, finishing fourth from a difficult starting position, highlighted his ability to manage tyres, traffic, and opportunity simultaneously. The combination of Gasly's experience and Tsunoda's electric pace made the AT02 pairing one of the more interesting driver partnerships on the grid, and AlphaTauri finished fifth in the Constructors' Championship, their best result under that name.
