Mercedes: Red Bull/AlphaTauri alliance won’t bring major benefits
Red Bull has made significant changes to its infrastructure and working methods in an effort to revive the struggling AlphaTauri team in Italy. This includes the appointment of a new team principal and increasing the number of parts sourced from Red Bull. This closer alliance between the two teams has raised concerns about fairness, with McLaren boss Zak Brown calling for the elimination of such partnerships in Formula 1. However, Mercedes technical director James Allison believes that the regulations currently in place prevent any illicit transfer of technical knowledge between teams. He emphasizes that any collaboration between teams can only be in the realm of marketing and not in technical or sporting aspects due to the strict rules in place.
