The AlphaTauri AT02 is a Formula One racing car designed and constructed by Scuderia AlphaTauri to compete in the 2021 Formula 1 World Championship. The car was driven by F1 rookie Yuki Tsunoda and Pierre Gasly. ^[2] The AT02 is the second car to be built and run under the AlphaTauri name.

2021 confirmed AlphaTauri’s position as a respectable midfield runner unable to make the final breakthrough needed to become a top team. The team’s package was quick and reliable, but not quite enough to regularly score podiums. Indeed, Gasly and Tsunoda finished just outside the points, no less than two times. The highlight of the year was Gasly’s run to third at the Azerbaijan Grand Prix to score the team’s fifth podium since their F1 début in 1985 (as Minardi). This capped an encouraging season for the Frenchman, who was duly kept on for another year. Tsunoda, despite a points finish in the first race of the season, lost his motivation after a sequence of bad luck and narrowly missing out on further points until Abu Dhabi Grand Prix where Tsunoda finished fourth in his career.

The team finished sixth in the Constructors’ Championship with 142 points, the cars best finish since entering the Formula 1 World Championship.
