Red Bull linked with Mercedes scout Gwen Lagrue move

BBC Sport reported Mercedes scout Gwen Lagrue is set to join Red Bull, in an unconfirmed move involving teams with 268 F1 wins and 14 titles.

BBC Sport reported that Mercedes driver scout Gwen Lagrue is leaving the team to join Red Bull. With no official confirmation in the supplied source, the move remains a reported development rather than a confirmed appointment.

The outlet said Lagrue was involved in identifying young talent at Mercedes, including Kimi Antonelli. If the switch is completed, he would join a Red Bull organisation that has raced in Formula 1 since 2005 and has won 130 Grands Prix and six constructors' titles.

The reported change would take him from one of Red Bull’s main rivals. Mercedes has competed across 19 Formula 1 seasons from 1954 to 2026, recording 138 wins and eight constructors’ championships.
