🗣️ 'It's good for AlphaTauri, especially the engineers and mechanics. They now can focus completely on the racing.' yukitsunoda07 says news that Red Bull isn't selling the AlphaTauri F1 team is also a boost for the squad's on-track fortunes:
Speaking to Autosport sister website Formel1.de, Marko explained that the team’s Italian base will remain the main hub of the operation but that the stature of its Bicester outpost, home to its aerodynamic department, will increase.
The Austrian said:"The decision has been made. AlphaTauri will remain fully owned by Red Bull and will continue to be run as a junior team.Rumours concerning the future of the team - with a possible buyout seen as an easier way for a new entrant such as Andretti to enter F1 - have been exacerbated by ninth-placed AlphaTauri’s poor ground-effect-era form.
The security of its place in the Red Bull stable was also questioned in the wake of the 2022 death of the company’s co-founder Dietrich Mateschitz. New Red Bull CEO Oliver Mintzlaff was reportedly unhappy with the team's performance and the failure to increase the brand identity of AlphaTauri via F1's popularity.Tsunoda, who has been with the squad since 2021, said that"concerned" team staff could now busy themselves purely with on-track performance since the pressure over the future had been relieved.
Asked by Autosport for his reaction to Marko’s news, Tsunoda said: “It’s good for AlphaTauri, especially the engineers and mechanics.“Definitely, most of the mechanics and engineers were a little bit concerned about it. So, it’s good definitely.“It’s sad that you can just cancel those things. It’s a little bit different so it’s good.
