AlphaTauri Formula One Team Sponsors 2023

When Paul Stoddart sold his Minardi team to Red Bull in 2006, the team were rebranded to Scuderia Toro Rosso. The Faenza-based team made their debut in the 2006 season and were initially considered as the ‘junior Red Bull team’, where most of the Red Bull Driver Academy talents started their career before moving to the senior team. The ‘junior’ team, though, ended up scoring the first victory before Red Bull could in 2008 through Sebastian Vettel’s stellar Monza drive. Since then, the team have been one of the strongest midfield teams and took their second win in 2020 after Pierre Gasly won in Monza.

The team have given many of the sport’s finest drivers a chance to showcase their talents, with the likes of Sebastian Vettel, Daniel Ricciardo, Max Verstappen, Pierre Gasly and Carlos Sainz Jr. all having started their career with the Italian team.

Red Bull eventually decided to rename the team as AlphaTauri to promote their fashion label of the same name, and given the success they have enjoyed, AlphaTauri are now looked as a sister team of the Austrian racing team and no longer a junior team.

Following are the list of sponsors of the Scuderia AlphaTauri team ahead of the 2023 season.
