Although Red Bull has recently been in the news due to a list of departing executives, there is also a major arrival at Red Bull Racing.
Red Bull Racing has recently hired a new chief commercial officer, Paul Gandolfi, ahead of the upcoming F1 season, according to RacingNews365 sources.
Gandolfi, who previously worked at a sports marketing company and spent five years with the Ferrari F1 team securing high-profile partnerships, has already begun his new role.
