F1 Red Bull Evolves Talent, Maintains Stability

Red Bull’s continuous evolution showcases a blend of stable growth and fresh talent development.

Christian Horner does not rule out changes at Red Bull, explaining that the team is not a static entity as it currently stands. However, during the Chinese Grand Prix, he downplayed the risks of Adrian Newey leaving.

“Our team has always evolved, nothing is set in stone,” Horner notes. “Nothing is fixed forever, but we have benefited from remarkable continuity. Paul Monaghan, who received the trophy in China, has been with us for 19 years.”

“We have always had great stability while continuing to develop great talent within the team. If you think about engineers like Rocky (Guillaume Rocquelin), who won all the championships with Sebastian [Vettel], he is still working with the team.”

“He is working on another project, but he is still part of our company. Simon Rennie is still working for the team. There are many, many engineers and designers. We have always enjoyed great stability but, of course, it’s not just about one or two people, it’s about the collective.”

Despite reports that Newey might have left the team, which had not yet surfaced at the time of his remarks, Horner remains optimistic about the engineer’s presence: “Adrian is a long-term and important part of our team. He is an integral part of the team. But there will always be interest in him, that’s for sure.”
