FIA plans fresh guidance on F1 team collaborations
Over the past few weeks, there has been a greater emphasis on teams working together, following AlphaTauri’s success by aligning with Red Bull. Some teams are concerned about the potential advantage gained from such close collaboration, especially as AlphaTauri plans to use more Red Bull parts in the future. The FIA, however, believes its checks are robust enough to detect any improper collaboration, with increased scrutiny on teams openly working together. The FIA’s single-seater chief, Nikolas Tombazis, stated that analysis of both Red Bull and AlphaTauri cars showed no cause for concern. Tombazis acknowledged the need to prevent collaboration and stated that further guidelines would soon be issued to ensure teams are well segregated.
