AlphaTauri’s Milton Keynes shift critical to its F1 success, says Bayer
The soon-to-be-renamed team is moving its British base from Bicester to Milton Keynes in order to accommodate its ongoing expansion and compete for top talent in the UK’s F1 job market. The new facility in Milton Keynes will be larger and better equipped, and will house both the aerodynamics and vehicle dynamics staff. The move will also make collaboration with sister team Red Bull Racing easier, particularly for wind tunnel and simulator work. The CEO of Scuderia AlphaTauri, Peter Bayer, acknowledges that it has always been challenging to get British engineers to relocate to Italy, and the move to Milton Keynes offers a more attractive workplace for top British talent. The team’s technical director, Jody Egginton, confirms that the move to a larger facility is beneficial and will support the team’s expansion efforts.
