Concerns have been raised by rival teams over the ever-increasing ties between Red Bull and AlphaTauri afte𝓀r the sudden improvements made by the sister outfit towards the end of🃏 the 2023 season. 

As part of a wider revamp of the AlphaTauri ꦿsquad ahead of 2024, which will include a na🧜me change, the team will forge an even closer alliance with the Red Bull senior team. 

This will include taking more parts from Red Bull, something which has raised eyebrows among rival team🐻s who want to ensure the pa♈rtnership is above board.  

F1’s regulatꦓions feature a strict list of parts that may be shared between teams. Cert𒁃ain key areas, such as the bodywork, can’t be outsourced. 

While the FIA has downplayed specific concerns relꩵating to Red Bull and AlphaTaur🍬i, F1’s governing body is set to clampdown on the matter. 

“We check teams that are in close proximity to each other a lot more closely than we check completely independent teams, exac꧋tly to make sure this thing doesn't happen. That is a concern,” the FIA’s single-seater chief Nikolas Tombazis is quoted by Motorspor🍨t.com.

“It has been a concern not only between the🧸 two team♍s mentioned, but also among other pairs of teams.  

“We believe that AlphaTauri specifically does have quite different aerodynamic solutions to the o✃ther company, and we don't think there's any sign of any direct collaboration.  

“Clearly, they are working hard and they have made a step forward. But I don't think it can be said it's dꩲue to collꦺaboration. 

“That said, collaboration, or making sure that no such thing happens, is one of ౠthe tricky parts of policing teams. 

“We do need to audit and make sure that all of these teams are well segregated and so on. And we wi🐽ll be issuing some further guidances quite soon to just provide further information to the teams about how they can convince us none of that is ha💖ppening.  

“We're not underestimat🅰ing the challenge and it is one of the d𒈔ifficulties we have.” 

Red Bull team principal Christian Horner recently insisted that what his team are doing with AlphaTauri is 168澳洲5最新开奖结果:“an awfully lo💝ng way from a ‘Pink Mercedes’”, referencing the controversy involving Racing Point 💦in 2020.&nb🐻sp;

Tombazis stressed the FIA has seen nothing to worry about regarding how Red B🦩ull and AlphaTauri work together and said the issue goes beyond teams who openly collaborate.&ওnbsp;

“The m𝔍ain incentive for two teams to collaborate isn't whether they exchange components or whether they even share a wind tunnel,🅘” he explained. 

“You can have two teams collaborating, one is in the UK, 🎀and one is in Argentina, and if two teams wants to communicate against regulations, have Zoom calls and have the engineers chat with each other, that is🅺 quite feasible.  

“We don't watch people's day-to-day movements, and nor is it our intention to do so. These pairs of teams get more frequently criticised for collaboration just because they have common owners💙hip or whatever, but it is n💎ot the only pair of teams that could collaborate. You could have two independent teams who decide to mutually gain by helping each other. 

"I don't thin𓄧k that's happening, but I'm just saying that our tools to prevent this happening don't need to be just linked to physical compon💦ents that are sold by one team to the other.”
