Not to be outdone by several of its F1 rivals in Las Vegas, AlphaTauri has also rolled out a special livery for this weekend’s spectacular.

However, contrary to its adversaries, the Faenza-based outfit’s design will be retained for F1’s season finale next week in Abu Dhabi.

The AT04’s dress features white speed streaks flowing down its bodywork and was whipped up by Californian artist and muralist Brendan Monroe, who also created AlphaTauri’s Las Vegas Capsule Collection.

“We are super excited to reveal this special livery in Las Vegas to promote the AlphaTauri capsule collection” commented Fabian Wrabetz, Scuderia AlphaTauri Director of Marketing and Communication.

“Delivering a full livery makeover has involved a long planning process behind the scenes, but we enjoyed working closely with the artist to incorporate his unique style into this livery, with which we will proudly race for the last two Grands Prix of the season.”

Phillip van Osten

Motor racing was a backdrop from the outset in Phillip van Osten's life. Born in Southern California, Phillip grew up with the sights and sounds of fast cars thanks to his father, Dick van Osten, an editor and writer for Auto Speed and Sport and Motor Trend. Phillip's passion for racing grew even more when his family moved to Europe and he became acquainted with the extraordinary world of Grand Prix racing. He was an early contributor to the monthly French F1i Magazine, often providing a historic or business perspective on Formula 1's affairs. In 2012, he co-authored along with fellow journalist Pierre Van Vliet the English-language adaptation of a limited edition book devoted to the great Belgian driver Jacky Ickx. He also authored "The American Legacy in Formula 1", a book which recounts the trials and tribulations of American drivers in Grand Prix racing. Phillip is also a commentator for Belgian broadcaster Be.TV for the US Indycar series.
