While Tost will retire at the end of the season, he mentioned that talks with potential sponsors are taking place and there is significant interest in partnering with AlphaTauri. However, no agreements have been finalized yet, and it may take several months before any official announcements are made.
When asked about the possibility of returning to the Toro Rosso name, under which the team competed for 14 seasons in Formula 1, Tost indicated that it is unlikely. He suggested that there are other opportunities to generate additional funding for the team.
