Why a chance to clone Red Bull’s 2023 F1 car is being resisted
“AlphaTauri’s future has been under scrutiny, resulting in changes for 2023 that will impact its identity and move parts of the team to Red Bull’s Milton Keynes campus. However, the team will not simply be a Red Bull clone. Since its rebranding as Toro Rosso in 2006, the team has relied on Red Bull parts to varying degrees. The push to use more Red Bull components on the 2024 car is interpreted as maximizing synergy, but technical director Jody Egginton clarifies that it won’t represent a dramatic change. The team will select different parts from the menu, similar to previous years. The cost cap also influences the decision to be selective in choosing parts, as there is a relatively high value set for purchased components. AlphaTauri retains control of the decision-making process and is encouraged to maximize what it can do within the regulations.”
