Red Bull hoped to inherit the brains behind Michael Schumacher’s domination
Former Ferrari team principal Jean Todt revealed that he turned down an offer from Red Bull Racing. Todt shared on the High Performance podcast that Dietrich Mateschitz approached him to lead the company’s motorsport operations. He had a successful 16-year tenure at Ferrari, beginning in 1993 and ending in 2009. Despite Mateschitz’s persistent invitations, Todt declined the Red Bull offer, citing his accomplished years at Ferrari as a reason. Instead of joining Red Bull, Todt took on the role as the FIA president in 2009, which he held for 12 years until 2021.
