While one of Red Bull’s teams has built a stunningly fast car already looking nailed on to win both titles yet again in 2023, its other team is faring a lot worse.
AlphaTauri had the slowest car on average over the first three races of the season, it has not looked easy to drive at all, and one fortunate point in Australia leaves the team joint-last in the championship, ahead of Williams only on countback.
It’s surprising for a team that won a race in 2020 and had its best ever season in 2021 to have fallen so far, especially given its links to Red Bull Racing, which has produced another world-beater.
But big changes are already being made at the track and away from it, and more are coming.
