The history of Scuderia AlphaTauri It started when Red Bull decided to buy the Minardi Team; and then we started here 2006 with around 85 people working for, in those days, Scuderia Toro Rosso. It was in 2020 when we decided to change the name from Toro Rosso to AlphaTauri; Got now I must say it to a team which has around 480 employees, permanent during a year now in the big times we have around 550 to 600 people. You could see really in this history that the team developed quite well.

There are two topics for this team. First of all, use the synergies with Red Bull Technology, and the second important pillar for the team is to educate young drivers from the Red Bull driver pool.

F1 is extremely competitive, you get the 20 best drivers in the world racing each other with the fastest cars in the world.

I think everyone has talent, but you need to add extra work than others to make a difference compared to the other drivers.

Any technical partnership is crucial for us, and especially the partnership and the cooperation with Epicor, because nowadays I must say that Epicor manages the team.

The big step that we made is that we have now the availability of the information that the people need to make their daily work. They use tablets to enter their production time information and as soon as they update the data, the information is then displayed on the screen of the following department.

Every day we receive a lot of different requests to make car parts, car equipment, toolings, and it is incredible how much work you can find behind the components, how much is difficult to plan and produce all the car parts in time, and how many people are involved.

The main improvements are the communications, the time saving and at the end the performance, because now people are not spending time to enter data within the system or to look for the data around the company. So at the end we gained a very good team performance using Kinetic software.

For sure you can see an improvement in terms of performance on the car because our engineers decide the better setup only based on what is best for the performance of the car and not on what is available to race. So with all these new tools for sure we can make more parts in shorter time with a more reliable data.
