Junior bull squad Scuderia AlphaTauri has successfully fired up its 2020 F1 contender at its factory in Faenza, Italy.

The Red Bull sister outfit - formerly known as Toro Rosso - will pull the covers off its new Honda-powered machine on Friday at a presentation scheduled at Red Bull's famous Hanger 7 at Salzburg airport.

The team managed by Franz Tost which finished sixth in last season's Constructors' standings will rely once again on Pierre Gasly and Daniil Kvyat who each scored a podium finish in 2019.
