The AlphaTauri AT03 is a Formula One car constructed by Scuderia AlphaTauri and racing in the 2022 Formula One World Championship. The car was driven by Pierre Gasly and Yuki Tsunoda. The AT03 is the third chassis built and designed by AlphaTauri and their first car under the 2022 technical regulations.[1]

Summary

The car proved to be reasonably competitive, but not enough to escape from the large midfield group. Gasly scored 23 points, but could not resist an offer from the fledgling Alpine team and left after the season finished, whilst Tsunoda endured his worst season by scored just 12 points. The team finished lowly in ninth in the Constructors' Championship – same position as in 2018 (under Toro Rosso branding), but with more points.
