P1racenews AI automatic summary:
The team formerly known as AlphaTauri is yet to be given its new name in public, but what can be expected from the Faenza-based outfit this season?
“Sauber and Tadasuke Makino is still yet to be fully understood but, from the outside looking in, it appears as though a subtle shift in the team’s ethos has taken place.Gone is the mantra of simply giving young stars a chance in F1 – as we saw with Juri Vips in 2020 – and in comes a desire to maximise Red Bull’s potential.Few teams can match the facilities and resources available to AlphaTauri, but extracting the absolute most from them has often been a challenge.The likes of James Key and Jody Egginton, who have been with the team for several years now, will be instrumental in helping Tost and company realise that ambition.With F1 almost unrecognisable to the sport it was, say, a decade ago, the challenge facing AlphaTauri is very different to the one it had faced in its previous guises; namely, being a steady midfield player.Yet with the brains on board and a strong direction set, the team appears to be in the best place it has ever been to tackle that new challenge.”
