AlphaTauri sign Ferrari chief and reject huge buy-out offer: https://racingnews365.com/mekies-set-to-join-alphatauri-from-ferrari

"... Ferrari Racing Director Laurent Mekies is poised to join the AlphaTauri Formula 1 team, RacingNews365.com has learned from Italian sources.

According to the sources, Mekies will be working alongside Team Principal Franz Tost, and it is expected to be part of a wider personnel rearrangement at the Faenza team.

Mekies previously worked for the team in their Minardi and Toro Rosso days, joining in 2002 and working there for over 10 years and becoming Chief Engineer before taking on roles at the FIA and then Ferrari.

As part of their restructuring, AlphaTauri recently announced the signing of Lars Stegelmann, who joined as the team's Head of Commercial in March.

The moves suggest that the AlphaTauri team is not for sale, and points to a commitment by Red Bull to improve the performances of their second team.

RacingNews365.com also understands that various offers have been made to the Red Bull group to purchase AlphaTauri, including one for at least $800m which was rejected, but the restructuring points to AlphaTauri not being for sale for the foreseeable future. ..."

I don't get the reason for this. Doesn't make sense to me

"Potential pros/cons from #F1Sprint revision:
+ Dull FP2 scrapped
+ Condensed Sprint Shootout
+ Less Sunday risk for leading drivers in Sprint
- Red flags in Sprint Shootout more disruptive
- Less motivation for drivers lower down the field to fight in Sprint

What about penalties?
- Grid penalty in practice/qualifying > Race
- Grid penalty in Sprint Shootout > Sprint Race
- Grid penalty in Sprint > Race
- Parc ferme breach > Pit lane start for Sprint Race and Race
- PU penalties > Race"

"Vasseur: In recent weeks we have worked hard in Maranello on the development of the SF-23, both in terms of improving the current car package and in terms of planned updates, which will be introduced gradually over the next few races.
Charles and Carlos did their part, working on the simulator and giving us valuable feedback.
In Australia we had already made a step forward in terms of pure performance and for Azerbaijan we intend to start from there "
