The Faenza-based team said on social media that the AT03 will be revealed on Monday, February 14, but refrained from providing additional launch information.
AlphaTauri is the fifth team to announce its launch date, with McLaren, Aston Martin, Mercedes and Ferrari having already revealed when they plan to unveil their new cars.
After finishing sixth in the Constructors’ Championship last year, AlphaTauri will be hoping an unchanged line-up of Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda can help them move up the standings this season.
Gasly delivered one of the best campaigns of his career last year as he consistently qualified in the top ten, while Tsunoda had a more turbulent rookie season but finished the season strong.
Although AlphaTauri’s former engine supplier Honda has retired from F1, it will continue with the same power units as sister team Red Bull, which now runs its own engine division.
But despite new rules introduced for this year aimed at closing the grid, AlphaTauri team boss Franz Tost has remained cautious about what is possible in the new era.
Speaking at the end of last year, he said: “It’s more of a very unknown story, because everything is completely new.
“We have no comparison with others. I trust our engineers because they built two put cars. the [2020] The AT01 was already a good car last year, and the 2021 car was a next step.
“Why shouldn’t they be able to make the AT03, even though it’s a brand new car, which is also very competitive?”
“But you know, there are, on the technological side, there are also different philosophies. I just hope we are going in the right direction.
“Where do we really end up, I don’t know. But I trust our team, the aero group is doing a very good job and that they are heading in the right direction.
F1’s first official pre-season test will take place in Barcelona, Spain from February 23.
