Mercedes F1 boss Toto Wolff has downplayed the impact of losing staff from his team's engine division to the new Red Bull Powertrains organisation. ⬇️
since the Red Bull project was launched, including several key players who are now leading the development of the 2026 Ford-backed engine in Milton Keynes.Both new entrants have also been chasing the top university graduates, making it even harder for Mercedes to plug any gaps."I think what I said before is that it is a very ambitious project with Red Bull Powertrains and a very courageous project," said Wolff when asked about the staff moves by Motorsport.com.
"We are not bragging about any people that have joined us [the race team] from Red Bull. I won't mention any names. We have a constant influx of Red Bull people, as we have from the other teams. The two of us are often discussing that. "So that is happening all the time. And so, the people they've hired, we wish them the best. Some of them were retired in our organisation and ended up there in a leading position, but that's fine. They've been given a second lifeline."Mercedes AMG High Performance Powertrains managing director Hywel Thomas also downplayed the impact of the departures.
"And they have undoubtedly hired a number of people. And some of them have come from our place. There's no secret there, and there's no problem with that, people are going to move their careers, and they're going to want to be involved in different projects. "We have had plenty of good people join us to replace those people that left, we've had plenty of really strong people promoted within the organisation.
