AlphaTauri chief opens up on Red Bull sale speculation with defiant rebuttal of rumours

Franz Tost has had his say on recent rumours suggesting Red Bull are considering selling their sister outfit due to a lack of return on its investment.

Speculation has arisen on the eve of the 2023 Formula 1 season, with a report in Germany's Auto Motor und Sport claiming the move was being considered after a lack of results. A Red Bull spokesperson recently told Mirror Sport that was not the case, however, and there were "no plans" to offload the Italy-based team.

Tost, 67, has served as the team's chief since it made its debut on the grid as Toro Rosso back in 2006, having undergone a rebrand for the 2020 season. And the Austrian gave a firm response when commenting on the matter of an alleged sale, assuring Red Bull remained committed to ensuring the team has a future in F1.
