Ole Schack, a key mechanic for Max Verstappen, has reportedly resigned from Red Bull after over two decades with the team.
Long-serving Red Bull mechanic Ole Schack is reportedly preparing to leave the team, which would bring an end to one of the most enduring tenures in the Formula 1 paddock. Schack, who has been with the team since its Jaguar days and has been a key figure in Max Verstappen’s success, has already submitted his resignation to the Milton Keynes outfit. Discussions are underway regarding the timing of his exit as he aims to pursue a fresh opportunity, potentially influenced by changes in the team’s internal environment. Red Bull is undergoing a period of transition marked by high-profile departures, reshaping the organization and creating a sense of instability. The team has struggled in the 2026 season, with balance issues impacting performance and Verstappen sitting ninth in the drivers’ championship. Schack’s potential departure would be another blow for Red Bull amidst ongoing challenges.
