Scuderia AlphaTauri was an Italian Formula One racing team and constructor, founded in 2020 and based in Faenza, Emilia-Romagna, Italy. The team served as the rebranded successor to Scuderia Toro Rosso, which had competed in Formula One since 2006 as the junior outfit to Red Bull Racing. AlphaTauri was created to promote Red Bull’s fashion brand of the same name, while continuing to function as a development team for young drivers from the Red Bull Junior Team programme.
The team achieved its first victory under the AlphaTauri name at the 2020 Italian Grand Prix, with Pierre Gasly taking his maiden Formula One win. This was also the first victory for a French driver in F1 since 1996.
History[]
Origins as Scuderia Toro Rosso[]
AlphaTauri originated from Minardi, a small Italian team acquired by Red Bull in 2005. Rebranded as Scuderia Toro Rosso (“Team Red Bull” in Italian), the Faenza-based outfit served as a sister and junior team to Red Bull Racing. Toro Rosso notably secured a victory at the 2008 Italian Grand Prix, where Sebastian Vettel claimed his first Formula One win.
Rebranding to AlphaTauri (2020)[]
In late 2019, Red Bull announced that Toro Rosso would be rebranded as Scuderia AlphaTauri for the 2020 season to promote its clothing line. The team continued to operate independently in Faenza, while maintaining close technical ties with Red Bull Racing.
The rebrand was officially launched in February 2020 in Salzburg, Austria, showcasing a new livery in navy blue and white, representing the fashion brand’s identity.
