Red Bull Revamps Technical Team

In a bid to bolster its performance and innovation, Red Bull has unveiled a series of changes within its technical department. Ben Waterhouse, who has been with the team since 2017 as head of performance engineering, will now assume an expanded leadership role as chief performance and design engineer, reporting directly to technical director Pierre Wache. This new position will oversee both design and vehicle performance, aiming to enhance integration between these areas and accelerate the development of high-performing solutions. Additionally, Andrea Landi is set to join the team on July 1 as head of performance, coming from sister team Racing Bulls, where he has been serving as deputy technical director. Landi, who has also worked with Ferrari in the past, will report to Waterhouse. According to Red Bull, these changes are part of the team's long-term technical strategy, focusing on nurturing internal talent while attracting top expertise from the sport. The team has faced a challenging start to the new era of F1 regulations, currently sitting sixth in the Constructors' Championship, 119 points behind leaders Mercedes. The recent years have also seen key staff members leave for rival teams, including Gianpiero Lambiase, who will join McLaren in 2028. The Miami Grand Prix, the season's second Sprint weekend, is set to take place on May 1-3, live on Sky Sports F1.
