| 0:00.0 | The race is on and Alfa Tari has become the second team to reveal its 2021 car, the AT02. |
| 0:14.1 | And after the slight disappointment of the McLaren reveal, there's plenty of technical detail in this car to get our teeth into. |
| 0:20.4 | I'm Ed Sture and joining me to take a close look at the car |
| 0:22.6 | and the team's prospects for 2021 at Gary Anderson and Mark Hughes. |
| 0:27.9 | Well, Gary, I said you're a little bit disappointed when we talked about McLaren, |
| 0:31.9 | but you're quite happy this morning. |
| 0:33.4 | There was a pleasant surprise from Alphateri. |
| 0:35.3 | Well, yeah, I am surprised. |
| 0:37.4 | You could say now the first car to reveal their 20, 21 product. Because I say McLaren, you know, had half a car there really to show us, but they didn't really shows very much. But Alpho Tori, it's, you know, it's a complete car. They went round it, they got pictures of the back of it, front of it, side of it. You know, everything's there.

| 1:19.2 | And within these regulations that we have, that's all you can ask for. |
| 1:23.1 | And obviously the interesting thing is what they have and have not taken from from red bull so i guess |
| 1:28.2 | mark hughes we should briefly mention what's not on the car in that as jody eggington the |
| 1:33.3 | technical director said at the end of last year they haven't taken the the 2020 red bull rear end |
| 1:39.2 | which they could have done without a token spend so what do we know about the reasoning for that |
| 1:43.0 | and do you think that's a good idea? |
| 1:44.7 | Yeah, they could have done. |
| 1:45.7 | They had the same option as Racing Boyd-Arson Martin had of updating to the donor team, |
| 1:52.3 | if you like, the race suspension of the 2020 car rather than the 2019 rear end that they were running. |
| 1:59.8 | But Alfortare have insisted that they're quite happy with the 2019 Red Bull rear end, |
