Peter Bayer is now AlphaTauri CEO and is keen to use examples gathered from Oscar Piastri to aid development of his team’s young drivers.
AlphaTauri plans to adopt a model similar to Oscar Piastri’s approach to gain valuable Formula 1 experience. Piastri, who won the 2021 F2 title, had no F1 seat for the 2022 season but signed with McLaren in July 2022. The Australian driver completed private testing to adapt to the demands of a Grand Prix car. This testing helped him achieve an impressive rookie season in 2023. AlphaTauri aims to prepare its young drivers, Liam Lawson, Isack Hadjar, and Ayumu Iwasa, through a comprehensive program. The team will utilize the 2022 machine for private testing to provide essential on-track experience. The complexity of Formula 1 requires time for drivers to digest information and provide feedback to the team. AlphaTauri’s CEO, Peter Bayer, recognizes the importance of this adjustment period.
