Horner welcomes Mercedes staff: "Achieving success with best and brightest talents
Red Bull Racing on Thursday appointed five new staff members to its new engine project. Remarkably, all five new staff members, as well as Technical Director, Ben Hodgkinson, come from Mercedes. Christian Horner is delighted with the move.
Red Bull steals even more Mercedes members
“Red Bull’s mission to bring all aspects of its Formula One operations in-house through Red Bull Powertrains is an enormously exciting undertaking but also an extremely demanding one, and we know that success will only be achieved by bringing in the best and brightest talent, by providing them with the right tools and by creating the right environment in which they can thrive," Horner revealed in the press release.
"Today’s key leadership team appointments demonstrate our strong commitment to those goals and we certainly benefit from our campus being located in the UK where we have access to a huge wealth of engineering talent. Working with our new Technical Director, Ben Hodgkinson, and alongside key personnel retained from Honda Racing Development, each of the senior personnel announced today bring a wealth of experience, expertise and innovativity to the Red Bull Powertrains programme and provide us with the strongest possible technical platform for the future," concludes the Red Bull Racing team boss.
Redbul must have a big garden for all the gardening leave to be worth wile.
As Lawrence Stroll recently found out, cut and paste doesn’t always deliver the expected result. As you transition from one era of regulations to another, the last thing you want is to poach the old guard. Imagine what would have happened to Mercedes had they simply poached Adrian Newey and his staff from Red Bull! The next regulation era is going to need fresh minds with new ideas for an entirely new kind of engine. Some of those new generation of geniuses are only just graduating right now, ready to shake things up like this old guard did. Advanced engineering is not like an energy drink where you take an old recipe and give it a new label. Just an opinion.
Exactly @sitting bull... even this heading...Achieving success with best and brightest talents.. they have not achieved one success but talk like they are guaranteed... ha!
Looks like the whingeing Wolf's house of cards is beginning to fall down.
House of cards that won an unprecedented 7 consecutive driver and manufacturer championships, never before done, dominating an era from beginning to end, what a house of cards!
Love it.... rub it in Horner... until you find out they can't function well under the grumpy old Marko n yourself who motivate by your put downs. You dont have it in you... so don't count on your environment just yet....Toto brings out the best with Niki's team foundations... you on the other side break everything n confidence of your own. But goodluck...
And the new team pockets are full of Merc parts and champagne...hahaha
Yup.... what you don't know its wrong parts bcoz Toto is setting them up.... they'll be fired after the first DNF... hahaha
Champagne dept is mine... with caviar... dont worry i changed labels put bitter sparkling water.. bcoz thats what they like... going to RBR
That's what F1 is about ...So much love for one another....hahaha
