AlphaTauri has played down talk that it could run a clone RB19 in Formula 1 next year off the back of planned closer ties with Red Bull.
agreed by its energy drinks owner earlier this year, the squad has been pushed to forge closer ties with Red Bull in a bid to lift its competitive fortunes under a new identity.
However, technical director Jody Egginton has played down talk of going that far as he said that the number of parts that the squad would take from Red Bull would not be much different to what it has done in the past. “At the end of the day, there's a notional value consideration for customer teams. So, when you start purchasing parts from supplying teams, you've got to keep an eye on the budget. But we'll maximise what's available to us as we try to do as much as we can.”
"It has become a bit more of a thing. We're less competitive, so people are saying, you're not quick enough, what are you doing? Egginton said no decision had been taken on whether the Red Bull parts AlphaTauri took would be year old or current in 2024, but he is clear that the squad is already well advanced on its own new chassis.
