Much has been made about so-called A/B team setups in recent weeks and months
FIA is reportedly investigating Red Bull’s setup after McLaren CEO Zak Brown criticized it as ‘unhealthy.’
Red Bull has had a sister team, initially Toro Rosso and now Racing Bulls, since joining F1 in 2005.
The sister team serves as a platform for young driver development, a path taken by world champions Sebastian Vettel and Max Verstappen.
Despite criticism, Racing Bulls’ team principal Alan Permane defended the relationship with Red Bull, emphasizing the benefits of being part of the Red Bull family.
FIA President Mohammed Ben Sulayem supported multi-team ownership if done for the ‘right reasons’ but hinted at further investigation into the matter.
