Red Bull have head-hunted former Aston Martin performance director Tom McCullough to become their head of racing from 2027.<\/b><\/p>\n

The 50-year-old Briton is a replacement for Gianpiero Lambiase<\/a>, who is moving to McLaren to become their chief racing officer at an unspecified time by 2028.<\/p>\n

Red Bull said in a statement that they “looked forward to the wealth of experience and expertise he will bring to the role” when he joins at the beginning of 2027.<\/p>\n

McCullough, a highly respected figure in F1, spent more than a decade at the team now known as Aston Martin, through its previous guises as Force India and Racing Point. Before that, he worked at Williams and Sauber.<\/p>\n

In January 2025, a restructure<\/a> led to him being moved off the F1 race team and to their performance technologies division.<\/p>\n

The new role effectively runs all aspects of the race team under team principal Laurent Mekies.<\/p>\n

It remains to be seen whether his appointment will ease the path to Red Bull and McLaren negotiating a settlement that allows Lambiase to leave earlier than currently stated.<\/p>\n

Lambiase has become well known as Max Verstappen’s race engineer, and for the direct and unfiltered relationship between them through their team radio messages.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
