The Abu Dhabi Grand Prix is the last race that Franz Tost will hold as head of AlphaTauri, and the team decided to give him a dignified farewell.
In particular, at the entrance to the team’s pits there are white panels with AlphaTauri logos, but this time one of them fulfills an unusual function: everyone who is in the paddock of the Yas Marina Circuit this weekend can leave wishes on this panel the address of the Austrian Formula 1 veteran and his signature.
This is how Daniel Ricciardo spoke about it: “As you can see, there are already many good wishes for Franz, who is saying goodbye to the team, and I have also left mine. There will be a pencil here all weekend, and if you are in the paddock and would like to dedicate your wish to Franz, please come and write words of love and support.
Now I’ll quickly explain what I wanted: Franz usually wakes up earlier than everyone else, and when he’s not going to the gym, he goes jogging on the beach. And I hope that now he can just go to the beach and sunbathe, since he will have free time.
He has worked tirelessly for so many years, so he can easily afford to enjoy his vacation. Thank you, Frans!”
