Racing Bulls announce technical team changes ahead of 2025 F1 season
Share
Racing Bulls have announced that their Technical Director, Jody Egginton, will be leaving the team after more than 10 years as part of the operation.
Egginton is taking on the role of Engineering Director at Red Bull Advanced Technologies, with that new appointment due to come into force from April 1 this year.
TEAM PREVIEW: Can Racing Bulls put on a charge with their new name and another new driver?
Egginton’s F1 career began back in 1996 as a Junior Designer with the Tyrrell team, followed by stints at Midland (which morphed into Spyker and Force India) and Team Lotus.
He moved to the then-named Toro Rosso squad in 2014 as Head of Vehicle Performance, becoming Deputy Technical Director in 2017 and Technical Director in 2019.
Egginton’s role at Racing Bulls will now be covered between Chief Technical Officer Tim Goss and Deputy Technical Directors Guillaume Cattelani (Car Performance) and Andrea Landi (Car Design).
Egginton’s duties will be taken on by other members of the Racing Bulls team
“Being part of this team for over 10 years has been a fantastic experience for me, providing some very memorable moments,” said Egginton. “But after almost 20 years of focusing solely on Formula 1, I feel it’s time for a change.
“I will have a great remit as Engineering Director of Red Bull Advanced Technologies and the company currently has an exciting list of projects, so I can’t wait to get started on this new challenge.”

“I want to thank Jody for his expertise and the important contribution he has made to the team and the company's upward trajectory. We wish him all the best for this new challenge within the Red Bull family.”
