AlphaTauri is smart and makes a long test day with two cars in Imola

AlphaTauri is Wednesday's team that will give the car the track to make some meters before the start of the season. Today AlphaTauri will make laps on the circuit of Imola and will come up with a smart solution.

The Formula 1 teams currently have two choices. For example, they can choose to use their filming day so they can drive this season's car, but are limited to 100 kilometers during this filming day. The other option is testing with an older model. However, AlphaTuari combines those two choices.

Not testing twice or having to travel to a circuit twice. No, AlphaTauri tackles it smarter. According to Motorsport.com, Red Bull Racing's little brother is taking this season's AT01 to Autodromo Enzo e Dino Ferrari, as well as the 2018 STR13. In 2018 AlphaTauri already drove the Honda engines, which makes it possible to use them.

Now that both cars have been taken, Daniil Kvyat and Pierre Gasly can get ready for a long day. With the 2020 car they can once again feel what it is like to drive a 2020 car, where the 2018 session with the 2018 car should mainly serve as a test for the team on how to deal with the corona measures.

Earlier there were rumours that Max Verstappen and Alexander Albon would also test with the old car of AlphaTauri, but Red Bull Racing has now scheduled a filming day for the two drivers to make their meters for the first race of the Formula 1 season.
