Red Bull Secures Tom McCullough as New Head of Racing, Replacing Gianpiero Lambiase

Red Bull Racing has confirmed the recruitment of Tom McCullough, a seasoned engineer from Aston Martin, to take over as head of racing. This appointment follows the announcement that Gianpiero Lambiase will join McLaren in 2028 as chief racing officer, reporting directly to team principal Andrea Stella.

Currently, Lambiase fulfills a dual role at Red Bull, acting as Max Verstappen's race engineer while managing broader team responsibilities. McCullough's arrival is set to ensure continuity and reinforce Red Bull's competitive edge on the grid.

The transition marks a strategic reshuffle within Red Bull's engineering leadership, aiming to maintain their championship momentum. McCullough's experience at Aston Martin positions him well to integrate swiftly into Red Bull's high-performance environment.

With Lambiase's future role at McLaren confirmed, the move underscores the ongoing talent exchanges shaping Formula 1's technical landscape.
