AlphaTauri is set to be renamed for the 2024 Formula 1 season as part of the team’s ongoing restructure under new Red Bull management, according to Helmut Marko.

Welp, experiment is over, you guys suck at this.
Also probably about previous rules preventing them from just straight up having two teams on the grid like they used to. Either way, I welcome Toro Rosso back, may it actually give their rookies chance for victories again.

Flat out mentions they want to maintain a junior team. Is this also another way to skirt around the “cost cap”? Alpha Tauri obviously hasn’t been competitive but I feel like this team allows RBR to trial both drivers and components they may not want to risk on their main team. If the plan is to move the main hub of operation to the UK who’s not to say they won’t be sharing basically everything?

Yeah, I've never been convinced that Red Bull isn't just using AlphaTauri/Toro Rosso as a full on development program for drivers, parts, aero, you name it. I've never understood why they are basically allowed to have two teams.

There is nothing to be convinced of. This has been common knowledge ever since they bought the team from Minardi. Or did you mean something else?
