Red Bull staff moves: Hart named, Lagrue linked

Red Bull is reported to be reshaping its F1 staff, with Tom Hart named as Gianpiero Lambiase’s successor and Gwen Lagrue linked from Mercedes.

Red Bull is reported to be reshaping its Formula 1 staff. Autosport reported that the team confirmed Tom Hart will succeed Gianpiero Lambiase from within, while BBC Sport and Autosport both reported that Mercedes junior driver programme boss Gwen Lagrue is set to join Red Bull.

Lagrue’s move is not confirmed in the supplied information, so it remains a reported development. BBC Sport described him as the Mercedes driver scout involved in discovering Kimi Antonelli, and Autosport reported that he is expected to take on a similar role at Red Bull.

The reported changes involve two teams with long winning records in Formula 1. Red Bull has raced since 2005 and has won 130 Grands Prix and six constructors’ titles, while Mercedes has competed across 19 seasons from 1954 to 2026, recording 138 wins and eight titles.
