A day after a spectacular launch event in Austria, AlphaTauri became the fourth team to run their 2020 car on track, the newly renamed squad giving the AT01 a shakedown at Misano in Italy.

Daniil Kvyat was the first of the team’s two drivers behind the wheel of the Honda-powered car, which has seemingly already become a firm fan favourite thanks to its fresh new livery.

Pierre Gasly then took over driving duties as he and Kvyat split the 100km of permissible running evenly.
