RB Formula 1 CEO Peter Bayer has responded to critics of his squad’s close collaboration with its sister Red Bull team.
This year, Red Bull Racing (RB) and the Red Bull-owned AlphaTauri team are working closer than before as AlphaTauri undergoes a major rebrand. RB recently launched its 2024 challenger, the VCARB-01, which shares similarities with Red Bull’s ideologies. While Formula 1 regulations prohibit the sharing of information between different constructors, certain elements can be purchased from other teams. There have been concerns raised by rivals about the close cooperation between RB and AlphaTauri. McLaren CEO Zak Brown has called for rule changes to maintain fairness in the sport. However, RB’s Chief Advisor, Franz Tost, suggests that the concerns are being voiced due to increased worry about potential changes in the competition hierarchy.
