Horner: No ‘Pink Mercedes’ risk in Red Bull/AlphaTauri F1 collaboration
The relaunched and renamed AlphaTauri team in 2024 will have a closer alliance with its sister team, Red Bull, and will use more Red Bull parts. There have been concerns in the paddock about this collaboration, with rival teams urging the FIA to investigate to ensure fairness. Red Bull’s team principal, Christian Horner, insists that nothing unfair is happening and that the relationship between the two teams is not like the controversial “Pink Mercedes” situation in 2020. Horner stated that there are clear regulations about the transferable components that can be supplied, and there are fundamental differences between the AlphaTauri car and the Red Bull Racing car. He also emphasized that AlphaTauri’s performance on track will depend on their own development and the quality of their team.
