One of the applicants rejected by the FIA for the 11th spot on the grid, Rodin Cars founder David Dicker has revealed he made a play for AlphaTauri but that the team’s $800-900m price tag was “unviable”.
“Well, I do have some talks about buying AlphaTauri, but the price is commercially unviable as far as I could understand it,” Dicker told “I do have a project that I’m working on. It’s interesting and exciting, but I can’t talk about it quite yet, because I haven’t quite got it. But with Red Bull wanting close on $1bn for AlphaTauri, today he regrets not getting his hands on Williams which was bought by Dorilton Capital.
