Jody Eggington, the longstanding Technical Director of Red Bull's second team, Racing Bulls, is set to depart his role at the end of this month. After nearly two decades in Formula 1, Eggington will take on a new challenge as Engineering Director of Red Bull Advanced Technologies, the division focused on cutting-edge engineering projects beyond F1.

A Career Pivot After 20 Years in F1

Eggington, a 51-year-old British engineer, has been instrumental in shaping Racing Bulls' technical operations. Reflecting on his decision, he stated:

"After almost 20 years of focusing solely on Formula 1, I feel it's time for a change. Red Bull Advanced Technologies offers an exciting new chapter with a diverse project portfolio."

Who Will Fill the Void at Racing Bulls?

His responsibilities will be distributed among:

• Tim Goss (Chief Technical Officer, ex-McLaren TD)
• Guillaume Cattelani (Deputy Technical Director)
• Andrea Landi (Deputy Technical Director)

Goss, who joined the team in early 2024, brings extensive experience from his tenure at McLaren, ensuring continuity in Racing Bulls' technical leadership.

Red Bull Advanced Technologies: A New Frontier

Eggington’s move underscores Red Bull’s expanding ambitions beyond F1. The division focuses on:

• Hypercar development (e.g., RB17 track car)
• Aerospace and mobility innovations
• Sustainable energy solutions

This transition highlights the fluid career trajectories within top-tier motorsport engineering and Red Bull’s multifaceted approach to motorsport and technology.
