The AlphaTauri driver's reflect on the odd launch.

The AlphaTauri F1 driver's Yuki Tsunoda and Nyck de Vries have spoken about the AT04 launch.

The event was held in New York City today as part of New York Fashion Week and was streamed to the teams YouTube channel. The short video presentation ended with de Vries and Tsunoda standing beside the AT04 with models behind them in the AlphaTauri autumn winter collection. 

Tsunoda, who joined the team in 2021, said in a statement about the launch:

“I had a great week in New York and I'm glad I attended today's event. The location was perfect for both the new fashion collection and our 2023 livery. 

"The classic Scuderia AlphaTauri colours match the new outfits perfectly and I can't wait to try them both this season!"

AlphaTauri's newest driver, de Vries, who is about to embark on his rookie F1 season after taking Pierre Gasly's seat on the team, has said:

“It was a great experience to participate in my first event as a Scuderia AlphaTauri driver. Being here at New York Fashion Week to represent the brand is really special to me and it showed me what the brand is all about. 

"The livery looks great and you can see how the stylish Autumn/Winter collection inspired it. I can't wait to see it in action on the track”.

F1 fans are now eagerly waiting for the next 2023 car releases, which will be Monday 13 February with a double whammy of Aston Martin and McLaren in the same day.
