He’s the second longest-serving Team Principal in the 2023
Formula 1 paddock, but after 18 years in charge of AlphaTauri and
Toro Rosso, Franz Tost is hanging up his pitwall
headphones.

Ahead of his final race in Abu Dhabi, Tost sits down with Tom
Clarkson to talk about the highs and lows of leading the team
from its inception.

Hear about Franz’s sometimes challenging relationship with senior
team Red Bull Racing, his team's sensational Grand Prix wins at
Monza in 2008 and 2020, and how he helped launch the careers of
multiple World Champions, Sebastian Vettel and Max
Verstappen.

Franz gives his views on what's next for current AlphaTauri
driver Yuki Tsunoda and 2023's stand-in star, Liam Lawson. Plus,
the Austrian tells Tom which of the 17 drivers he’s worked with
have impressed him the most and his five stages of development
for rookies.
