Red Bull will probably join DTM with its own team

It looks like Red Bull Racing will be racing with its own team in DTM next season. On Monday afternoon, the Austrian racing team announced that Alexander Albon and junior Liam Lawson will compete in the German championship in 2021, but it is not yet clear for which team they will be competing.

In the press release Red Bull stated that it had not yet been announced with which car and for which make Albon and Lawson were going to make their mileage in the near future. The team of Helmut Marko and Christian Horner will therefore probably enter into a partnership with a manufacturer who has more experience with these cars.

The DTM is a championship that has fallen into disrepair in recent years. Larger car brands such as Mercedes and Audi have said goodbye to the racing class in recent seasons, which is why the GT3 regulations will be driven from next year onwards.

Possibly joining the DTM is also a (partial) solution for Red Bull to transfer personnel. From mid-2021 onwards, the top teams in Formula 1 will have to comply with the set budget cap of 145 million dollars per season, which means that the number of employees will have to be reduced. Ferrari, for example, looked at the possibility of joining IndyCar.
