In continuation of our series 'If F1 Teams Were A Stock', the next team in focus is Scuderia Alpha Tauri. 

For those tuning in to this series for the first time: In this series, we discuss if one should 'buy, sell or hold' the stock of a Formula 1 team for the upcoming season.

Before dishing out 'investment advice', we take into account factors that strengthen the team's championship challenge in 2021 and the factors that are weak links.

Of course, there are no real shares to trade and we doubt Dietrich is selling any. But word on the street is that Japanese Formula 1 fans are eager to buy-in to celebrate Yuki's debut. In fact, we're certain that Alpha Tauri's stock price will rise through the season due to these two factors. Btw, Tsunoda's DRS-trickery in pre-season testing was cheeky but fun!

This is a Pits to Podium exclusive on the Inside Line F1 Podcast with Soumil and Kunal being your hosts for the entire series. Expect a new episode of this series to be released every alternate day (minus weekends!) in the build-up to the 2021 Formula 1 season.

If you missed the earlier teams we spoke about, go ahead and look up the previous episodes on our channel. Tune in!
