Red Bull Racing is preparing to bring in Tom McCullough, currently the performance director at Aston Martin, as the new race engineering chief. This change comes after the announcement that Gianpiero Lambiase will leave his position to join McLaren starting in 2028.
According to reports from the German media BILD, McCullough will take over the management of Red Bull’s track engineering operations. He will be responsible for coordinating engineers during races and ensuring everything runs optimally on the circuit.
The future appointment of the Brit is set against a backdrop of significant changes within the team. McCullough has been linked to Aston Martin for over a decade, including his time with Force India and Racing Point, where he held various roles related to on-track performance.
Before his time at Aston Martin, he worked at Williams as a data engineer and later as a race engineer, collaborating with drivers such as Nico Hülkenberg and Rubens Barrichello.
Lambiase’s departure marks a new era for Max Verstappen and the team, considering he was one of his closest collaborators since arriving in 2015. He has played a critical role in the development of the car and its race strategy.
