Red Bull Racing’s sister team AlphaTauri will reuse RB19’s front suspension in 2024 F1 season - Reports

AlphaTauri CEO Peter Bayer has reportedly revealed that their 2024 F1 car will be using the Red Bull RB19's front suspension. The Italian team is currently going through major managerial and brand changes. Along with that, they will be taking a lot of inspiration from the 2023 championship-winning machine developed by their senior team.

Speaking to motorsport-total.com, Peter Bayer said that AlphaTauri will use their own rear suspension and the RB19's front suspension. He further claimed that the technical regulations allow his team to use Red Bull's front suspension in their car. Hence, they are going ahead with it.

“Next year, we will continue with our current rear and use the Red Bull front suspension from their current car at the front. There have been years when we have done something different for various reasons. But we have the opportunity to do it, and the regulations allow it, so we will do it, like a number of other teams,” he said.

Bayer further added that since the Italian team will be developing a brand new chassis for 2024, they will have the opportunity to borrow some more parts from Red Bull as well.

“It also has many advantages. We will be developing and manufacturing a new chassis for next year, so we have the opportunity to take over some parts,” he said.
