The new regulations in 2022 saw the team take a step back, slumping to ninth in the champion🐻ship.

F1 2023 hasn’t started any bette🎐r, with AlphaTauri yet to score in either of the opening two races.

Their poor form, combined with the death of Red Bull co-founder Dietrich Mateschi♔tz in October 2022, led to speculation that the second team would be sold.

Marko revealed that Red Bull’s management is considering a 🅠name change for AlphaTauri.

“It is something we are reconsidering," he told RacingNews365.

“It is logical too. The branding of AlphaTauri has been scaled back somewhat, because only in a few countries where we race, AlphaTauri is actually sﷺold. It is about three to four countries only. 

“The task i🦂s simple. More money must be brought in and results improved."

Marko also insisted that Red Bull “need a second team” particularly when they star🐟t using ♎their own F1 engine from RBPT.

"No, AlphaTauri is not for sale," he added. "Internally, there were several considerations, though.  What is not satisfactory is that AlphaTauri costs more t🤪han Red Bull, so what do we do?&n🃏bsp;

"Do we restructure, do you stay in Italy? Do you move the team partially ꦚto England or maybe even completely? Do you sell the whole thing? 𓄧These were the considerations, when a new management comes in, you go through every possibility. 

"We need a second teamꦫ, simpl🌺e as that.  Especially also for the [Red Bull Powertrains] engines, it has to work. We have very good people here, the best. But we also have to prove in practice that things are under control."
