RB rules out Faenza F1 factory move despite new Milton Keynes facility
The Red Bull-owned squad is undergoing a revamp of its F1 programme, with a change of identity from AlphaTauri and new team management in Laurent Mekies and Peter Bayer. Amid scrutiny over ties to Red Bull, there are suggestions it may move operations from Faenza, Italy, to the UK based on comments by McLaren CEO Zak Brown. However, RB team principal Mekies clarified that while some staff is relocating to Milton Keynes, Faenza will remain the team headquarters. RB will close operations in Bicester to focus on new facilities in Milton Keynes to attract staff who prefer working in the UK, leveraging the benefits of technology for seamless collaboration between locations. Ultimately, this strategic shift aims to enhance efficiency and bring advantages in the evolving dynamics of Formula 1.
