The Bulls team principal Christian Horner conveyed on this, “Red Bull’s mission to bring all aspects of its Formula 1 operations in-house through Red Bull Powertrains is an enormously exciting undertaking but also an extremely demanding one, and we know that success will only be achieved by bringing in the best and brightest talent, by providing them with the right tools and by creating the right environment in which they can thrive.”
The Bulls to bring in Ben Hodgkinson and few more Engineers from Mercedes starting from this year. The Milton Keynes based team is piling up for the Powertrains division and will put these Engineers as head of each division at Red Bull once they start operating.
