Red Bull has decided against selling its AlphaTauri team despite concerns over its performance both on and off the track. Full F1 story:
, being replaced by Ferrari's Laurent Mekies. Former FIA secretary general Peter Bayer will become the team's CEO.It had considered the sale of the team, but that has now been ruled out. AlphaTauri's current Faenza base near Imola will remain the team's main hub, but it will also employ more staff from its UK outpost in Bicester.
"The decision has been made. AlphaTauri will remain fully owned by Red Bull and will continue to be run as a junior team," Red Bull advisor Marko revealed inBut according to Marko, Mintzlaff asked the team to"use as many synergies with Red Bull Racing as are allowed by the regulations", which means moving more staff to Bicester, which is just down the road from Red Bull's F1 headquarters in Milton Keynes.
Outgoing team principal Tost felt a more even split between Faenza and Bicester was the right decision as the team tries to be more competitive on F1's job market, with a relocation to Italy often proving a stumbling block for experienced staff and their families. "In England, AlphaTauri already has a lot of employees. The whole aero team is in England. And what we will certainly do in the future is, if we want to sign engineers but they just don't go to Italy, for whatever reason, that they can then work from that base in England.
