Red Bull is counter-attacking after Mercedes moved to end the flow of specialist staff from Brixworth to Red Bull’s new engine operation. Mercedes is offering them double if they don’t come to us or if they stay. “Niki had very close contact with his engine people,” Marko said in Barcelona. Wolff said this weekend that Red Bull is promising Mercedes staff an exciting future at the new company Red Bull Powertrains. And Marko said it is obvious that Mercedes will miss the most prominent of the defections. “Our plan is to continue to build the Honda engines in 2023 whilst developing the new engine which will run as a Red Bull engine from 2025.”.
