Red Bull taskmaster Helmut Marko said that a few parts of the AlphaTauri team’s operations will move to England. The Italy-based team is heavily connected to Red Bull and its decisions are governed by the seniors at the Austrian company. Things aren’t going in favour of AlphaTauri so far in the season of 2023. Not only this, but the team also stood second last in the constructor’s standings and are currently placed from the bottom.
AlphaTauri have taken only two points in the first eight Grand Prix of the season, and Helmut Marko agrees that it needs to do better, and a few things need to be done differently. Dr. Marko was in conversation with f1-insider.com, where he said that Red Bull is not happy with the current performance of Alpha Tauri. Helmut stated that in order to use their resources more efficiently, some operations of the team will be shifted to England.
Dr. Marko said, “We are not happy with AlphaTauri's current performance, and neither are they. For the future, an expansion of the collaboration with Red Bull Racing is foreseen. Of course, this will take place in compliance with the regulations. But we want to be able to use more resources efficiently. It is expected that some parts of the team will be transferred to England, for example.”
On the other hand, Yuki Tsunoda recently spoke about the upcoming F1 Austrian GP 2023 and how the team is going to go in the race weekend. The F1 driver told how the team will aim to finish in the top 10. The Japanese racer told the F1 Nation Podcast, "It's hard, because we need a good qualifying, and because we have Sprint qualifying, the top eight [positions] will count [for points in the Sprint race] and we'll have to be around P9 at least in Sprint qualifying to score points."
The 23-year-old has missed out on many points and had a few unlucky races. However, he is determined to finish the points at the Red Bull Ring.
