AlphaTauri made clever use of today's test day at Imola. The team brought an old Toro Rosso STR13 from 2018 and also used the day as a filming day with the new AlphaTauri AT01, which could be ridden up to 100 kilometres.
Close to home
Imola is a stone's throw away from the home base of the Italian race stable. It's only a fifteen kilometer drive from Faenza to the circuit. Imola is still doing her best to get a spot on the revised F1 calendar.
Back on the track
Pierre Gasly reacted satisfied after the test: "I was really happy to be back on track after such a long wait. I had really missed that feeling you get from driving so it was incredible to be back in the STR13 and the AT01. We had a really smooth day, doing some laps in both cars."
"I woke up this morning feeling excited and happy and I will fall asleep tonight in the same mood. It was also special to drive a Formula 1 car at Imola, which is one of my favourite tracks. I think we are now ready for Austria", concludes Gasly.
