AlphaTauri to launch 2023 car in New York

Scuderia AlphaTauri has set a date and a venue for the presentation of its 2023 season, with the Italian outfit unveiling its F1 programme at a special event that will be held in New York on February 11.

The Faenza-based squad has chosen New York Fashion Week in the Big Apple to pull the covers off its 2023 livery.

While the presentation will take place in parallel with the launch of AlphaTauri's latest line of fashion wear, the team will likely roll out its new AT04 just before the start of pre-season testing in Bahrain on February 23.

AlphaTauri is the third team to announce its 2023 season presentation, with Aston Martin and Ferrari set to unveil their contender on February 13 and 14 respectively.

AlphaTauri will be seeking to turn around it fortunes next season after a 2022 campaign that left the sister Red Bull outfit a lowly P9 in F1's final Constructors' standings.

The team has undergone a driver change with long-standing team member Pierre Gasly moving to Alpine and replaced by F1 rookie Nyck de Vries who earned his spot with AlphaTauri thanks to his remarkable one-off and top-ten finish with Williams in last September's Italian Grand Prix at Monza.

On the other side of the AlphaTauri garage, 22-year-old Yuki Tsunoda will embark on his third F1 season.

Next year, the Japanese charger will be looking to improve on his 2022 track record that features only two top-ten finishes, with Tsunoda scoring points in F1's early season races in Bahrain and at Imola.
