The official debut ofAlphaTauri AT03 was staged today on the occasion of Barcelona pre-season teststhe first collective appointment of the 2022 season. During the entire session, the team from Faenza took to the track with only Yuki Tsunodaauthor of 7th best time of day. The Japanese, who completed a total of 121 laps, concluded his performance by stopping the clock on1: 21.638 with medium tire (C3), positioning itself behind Sebastian Vettel’s Aston Martin and in front of Fernando Alonso’s Alpine.
The 21-year-old, who for tomorrow – 24 February – will leave the wheel to his teammate Pierre Gasly for the entire duration of the session, he analyzed the first sensations aroused by the new single-seater, which has completely different technical characteristics compared to that of 2021 due to the numerous regulatory changes: βIt was a really productive day and a good start of testing for the whole team – commented – this is the first real outing with the 2022 car, so everything we did was really important to be able to fully learn this car which, obviously, is completely different from last year. The mileage, and the changes made to the setup, were fundamental, and we managed to get what we wanted. We have found some things we have yet to evaluate, but we are happy with how things are going so far. The machine was really reliable, we needed to get as much data as possible and we succeeded. We still have five days of testing to do before the world championship – he concluded – and I think the car is fast enough, but we won’t know the real performance until qualifying in Bahrain β.
