AlphaTauri seemed destined to finish the 2023 Formula 1 season last in the Constructors’ Championship but driver swaps continued development saw it make strides toward the end of the campaign.
AlphaTauri’s 2023 Formula 1 campaign started off disappointing but ended on a high note with a late-season push. The team made a driver swap that changed the course of their season. Yuki Tsunoda and rookie Nyck de Vries began the campaign, but in-season driver changes improved their performance. The addition of Daniel Ricciardo provided a new perspective and his input helped steer development.
