That was the real thing that won Max this race - Fans suspicious of a possible Red Bull-AlphaTauri controversy at 2022 F1 Dutch GP

By Khyati C Modified 06 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share The field as they prepare for the start on the grid during the F1 Grand Prix of The Netherlands. (Photo by Mark Thompson/Getty Images) The Red Bull-AlphaTauri conspiracy ran hot across F1 Twitter after the weekend. Yuki Tsonuda's AlphaTauri broke down on the 48th lap of the 2022 F1 Dutch GP. Due to the incident, a virtual safety car was issued, providing race leader Max Verstappen with enough window for another pitstop. This ultimately helped him beat out both Mercedes. This led to a wave of online anger and abuse, with insinuation of conspiracy theories and collusion between Red Bull and AlphaTauri. Fans seem to be pretty convinced about the same: "Let's not let Merc's f*ckup distract from the very suspicious and at the least very inconsiderate behaviour of AlphaTauri- that was the real thing that 'won' Max this race. Full investigation needed. Singapore 08 wasn't "realistic" until it actually was."

There was a genuine issue but instead of retiring him they sent him out. I think FIA should force RedBull to sell Alpha Tauri, because they literally run with 4 cars."

AlphaTauri denounce accusations of collusion with Red Bull

With all the slander just not seeming to come to a stop, AlphaTauri issued a statement condemning these accusations and conspiracy theories. They claim to have been totally fair throughout, respecting the sportsmanship. “It is incredibly disheartening to read some of the language and comments directed at our team and towards Red Bull Racing’s head of strategy, Hannah Schmitz." “Such hateful behaviour cannot be tolerated, and to entertain accusations of foul play is unacceptable, untrue and completely disrespectful towards both Hannah and us. We have always competed independently, fairly and with the highest levels of respect and sportsmanship." View this post on Instagram Instagram Post"Yuki had a failure that the team didn’t immediately detect which caused him to stop on track. To suggest anything different is insulting and categorically incorrect." The FIA also confirmed that the AlphaTauri driver had an issue with the differential in his AT03, resulting in his DNF.
