Red Bull Racing sporting director Jonathan Wheatley will leave the team at the end of this year to take on the role of team principal for the Audi Formula 1 project, effective 2025. Wheatley has been with Red Bull for 18 years and played a significant role in the team’s success, contributing to multiple constructors’ and drivers’ championships. His departure is part of a larger organizational shift, with key figures like Adrian Newey also leaving the team soon. Red Bull Racing is planning to announce a new team structure in the following weeks to ensure a smooth transition. Wheatley’s move to Audi will see him working closely with former Ferrari team principal Mattia Binotto at Sauber Motorsport AG.
