Jonathan Wheatley will leave his role as Red Bull sporting director at the end of 2024 to become team principal of Audi's Formula 1 team.
Wheatley is set to assume his new role at Audi in preparation for the German brand's first season in F1 in 2026, and will serve a period of gardening leave upon departing from Red Bull at the end of the year. The Briton joined Red Bull in 2006 having worked at Renault as its chief mechanic, becoming team manager and then sporting director across the Austrian team's two title-winning spells in F1.
