Rebranded Alpha Tauri sets date for 2020 launch event

The rebranded Alpha Tauri team has set a date for the launch of its 2020 Formula 1 programme.

The squad has competed under the Toro Rosso banner since 2006, when energy drinks company Red Bull acquired the Minardi outfit, with its Italian name a nod to Minardi's heritage.

But for 2020 it will be rebranded as Scuderia Alpha Tauri.

Alpha Tauri is the clothing arm of Red Bull, which was launched in 2016.

Alpha Tauri’s 2020 team launch will take place on the evening of February 14 in Red Bull’s Hangar-7 complex, which is located on the outskirts of Salzburg, Austria.

The team has not stated whether its 2020 Formula 1 car will be launched at the same time.

Alpha Tauri will enter 2020 with an unchanged driver line-up of Pierre Gasly and Daniil Kvyat.

Under its Toro Rosso guise it finished sixth in the 2019 Constructors’ Championship with two podium finishes to its name, courtesy of Gasly in Brazil and Kvyat in Germany.
