Toro Rosso to be renamed Alpha Tauri for 2020 season

The FIA has confirmed Toro Rosso will be renamed Alpha Tauri next year after publishing the official entry list for the 2020 grid.

Alpha Tauri is the name of a clothing brand owned by Toro Rosso's parent company Red Bull and will be used to promote the brand from the 2020 season onwards. The Italian team was expected to announce the name change over the winter, but the release of the official FIA entry list on Saturday meant the news has been confirmed ahead of the official rebranding.

Toro Rosso, the Italian translation of "Red Bull," has existed as a Red Bull junior team since 2006 when the Austrian drinks manufacturer took over the Minardi F1 team.
