Red Bull Racing, the dominant force in the new ground effects aerodynamic era of Formula 1, is facing a relentless assault on their technical staff, with rival teams offering substantial financial incentives to entice Red Bull personnel to switch allegiances. Helmut Marko, Red Bull’s motorsport advisor, revealed that rival teams have been offering double the salary to lure their key figures away.
The exodus of talent has already seen Aston Martin secure the services of Red Bull’s former head of aerodynamics, Dan Fallows, while Ferrari has reportedly secured the signature of aerodynamicist David George. McLaren has now joined the ranks of teams poaching Red Bull personnel, with the recent signing of Rob Marshall, who will join McLaren as the technical director of engineering and design in January 2024.
