McLaren’s Zak Brown reiterates concerns over closer Red Bull-AlphaTauri alliance
AlphaTauri - which will be rebranded for 🌊the upcoming season - will have an increased presence in the United Kingdom, rather than their base in Italy, as they look to work alongside Red Bu𒆙ll.
Given Red Bull’s dominant 2023 campaign, there’s🌌 concerns that AlphaTauri will benefit significantly from this partnership and the exclusive knowledge they will get.
It’s not the first time Brown🤡 has voiced hi෴s disapproval of the Red Bull-AlphaTauri alliance.
"I think everything is pretty clear what the rules are,” B🌜rown said. “However, I think the rules need to be reviewed and modified quickly. I think the A-B team ownership is now outdated for the reasons they were put in place many yꦺears ago.
“It was before we had a budget cap and had a huge disparity between our budget, Mercedes’ budget and th𝕴e F🌼orce Indias of the world. It was intended to help the smaller teams.”
Brown believes with the F1 budget cap in place, t🙈here’s less ne❀ed for collaborations between teams.
“Now that we have a budget cap that I ൩believe everybody is pretty much running at, it's a much more financially fair [and] equal playing field,” he added.
“Therefore we need to maintain fairness for the fans and fairness for the sport. To have teams teaming up, I think is🤡 against the spirit of what the definition of a constructor is.”
