Mercedes: Red Bull/AlphaTauri F1 alliance won’t bring major benefits
Red Bull has made significant changes to AlphaTauri to improve its performance, including a new team principal and increased collaboration with its sister team. McLaren boss Zak Brown expressed concern over such partnerships, calling for their elimination in Formula 1. Mercedes technical director James Allison, however, believes the current regulations prevent any exchange of intellectual property between teams. He explained that the rules only allow for limited sharing of parts and technical data, and teams can only form strong commercial relationships, not technical or sporting ones. Allison also mentioned that previous partnerships, like the one Mercedes had with Aston Martin, prompted tighter regulations to prevent extensive cooperation.
