In November 2005, Franz Tost was appointed team leader of the Toro Rosso team, which now competes in Formula 1 under the name AlphaTauri. The 67-year-old Austrian has always been at the helm of the team from Faenza all these years, but is preparing to retire soon.
Franz Tost: “I don’t know when I will end my career, but I can say with 100% certainty that I will not be on the command bridge at 70. I’ll be gone before I’m that old.
I’m going back to Austria and I can finally ski again. I haven’t skied in three years, simply because I don’t have the time. What is the best time to ski? In February and March, but during these months I’m working – building a car, presenting it, testing it and then racing it in Bahrain, Jeddah and Melbourne.
I will find something to do after leaving Formula 1. I will certainly not be bored.”
