For the 2020 Formula One season, Alpha Tauri have replaced the Toro Rosso team. However, the team have retained Pierre Gasly and Daniil Kvyat for the coming season. Ever since the team announced a launch date of February 14th, they have been teasing bits of the livery.

Admittedly, Alpha Tauri is no stranger to making headlines, especially in terms of radical new liveries. From their debut, they have fielded a livery which looked like an evolution of the Red Bull team. All that changed in the 2017 season when the erstwhile Toro Rosso team rolled out a red, silver and blue livery and stuck with it until 2019.

In a recent tweet though, the Italian team have been hinting at another radical livery change for the new season. The primary theme colours of the brand is black and silver, which opens up numerous avenues.

In a follow up tweet posted on their Twitter handle, they’ve further cemented the radical new livery design.

The origin of Alpha Tauri

After a decade of getting used to the name Toro Rosso, it begs the question, who or what is Alpha Tauri? The Red Bull-backed brand is the energy drinks company’s fashion division.

In 2019, the erstwhile Toro Rosso team had plenty of reasons to be happy, with a strong season. The team ended the year, 6th in the constructor’s championship. A a bonus, they featured on the podium twice, courtesy Daniil Kvyat in Germany and Pierre Gasly in Brazil.
