Red Bull Shakes Up Tech Team Amid Exodus
17 Apr
Summary
- Andrea Landi joins Red Bull as head of performance on July 1.
- The team faces significant departures of senior technical staff.
- Red Bull is sixth in constructors' standings after three races.
Red Bull has announced a significant internal reshuffle of its technical department, appointing Andrea Landi as head of performance starting July 1. Landi previously served as deputy technical director at Racing Bulls and held a performance role at Ferrari.
This appointment comes as Red Bull experiences a wave of departures from its senior technical staff, including notable figures moving to rival teams. The team's design department remains under technical director Pierre Wache, with Ben Waterhouse now overseeing an expanded role as chief performance and design engineer.
The reshuffle occurs against the backdrop of a difficult start to the current Formula 1 season for Red Bull. The team currently ranks sixth in the constructors' championship. This period also sees driver Max Verstappen questioning his future with the team beyond 2026 due to dissatisfaction with new regulations.
Red Bull is preparing for a major shift in 2026, which includes producing its own power units under new Formula 1 regulations. A dedicated facility in Milton Keynes is being established for engine design and construction for both Red Bull and Racing Bulls.
