Ahead of the 2023 Formula 1 season, AlphaTauri can already tick off the FIA's crash tests. On social media, the team announces that they have passed the tests.
AlphaTauri passes crash tests
Now that AlphaTauri's car has passed the FIA's crash tests, the team may officially deploy the parts. However, it will be some time before we will see the approved car in action: on Saturday 11 February, the AT04 will be launched in New York, more than a week after sister team Red Bull Racing presents the RB19 in the Big Apple. Just under two weeks later, the car will take to the track during the winter test in Bahrain.
Earlier, Haas was the first F1 team to announce that their new car had passed the crash tests. Ferrari's new car was also said to have passed the tests back in December, making both teams early adopters.
