Mekies to replace Tost as AlphaTauri F1 team principal at the end of 2023
AlphaTauri announced that Tost will step down as team principal at the end of the 2023 season and that Mekies will succeed him back to the Italian team and will join the team at an undisclosed date.
Additionally, former FIA executive director Peter Beyer will join AlphaTauri later this season as its CEO, with responsibility for overseeing the strategic direction of the team’s facilities in Italy and the UK.
Tost has been in charge of the team since 2006 and was appointed by Red Bull GmbH following the acquisition of the Minardi team in late 2005.

Carlos Sainz still has a year-and-a-half remaining on his Ferrari contract, but the Spaniard is curious to see what the Italian team plans to do with him after that. Sainz spoke about this in a conversation with Sky Sports. So while he previously said he wasn’t worried about all the rumors surrounding him personally, he wanted clarification soon.
Last week it was Charles Leclerc’s turn and next weekend it was Carlos Sainz’s. Soon, both Ferrari drivers will be competing in their home races. The race in his hometown of Monaco didn’t go his way for Leclerc, with Sainz clearly hoping to please his fans with the best results.
Not on the podium, it still feels good. With Lewis Hamilton in fourth, Mercedes will never rest on its dark past, but times have changed. Possibly they will change more in the next period, as in Barcelona, ​​it may become clearer just how well the updates Monaco have introduced.
Sainz hopes for clarity on his contract at Ferrari soon
