[8] [9] The AT01 made its debut at the Austrian Grand Prix. The car saw AlphaTauri achieve their first Grand Prix victory with Pierre Gasly at the Italian Grand Prix.

[10] The car had its first shakedown at the Misano World Circuit Marco Simoncelli. [10] The nose of the AT01 has evolved slightly from the nose of its predecessor, the STR14 with several minor changes relating to air inlets and the bodywork along the side of the front nose. [11]
At the season opener at the 2020 Austrian Grand Prix, Gasly finished 7th with his teammate, Kvyat, finishing 12th. [12] The rest of the season, Gasly outperformed his teammate and went on to win his first Grand Prix at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix. [13] Over the season's 17 races, the car was able to achieve 1 win and 1 podium and finished 7th in the constructors' championship.
A modified AT01 was used during testing of the 2022 tyre compounds after the 2021 Abu Dhabi Grand Prix. [14]
