Red Bull Racing has recruited Racing Bulls' deputy technical director Andrea Landi into a senior position, with Dan Fallows now starting his role as the sister team's technical director.
On Friday, Red Bull announced it had promoted its long-time head of performance engineering Ben Waterhouse into a more senior role. Waterhouse moves to the position of chief performance and design engineer, bridging the design and vehicle performance departments and reporting to technical director Pierre Wache.
The team explained this cross-department role "strengthens integration between these areas and will accelerate the development of competitive, high-performing solutions."
Red Bull has found a replacement for Waterhouse's original position at sister team Racing Bulls. The team's deputy technical director Andrea Landi will join Red Bull on 1 July to become its new head of performance.
Fallows starts role at Racing Bulls as Cattelani leaves
Landi's Racing Bulls exit is part of wider tech shuffle at the Anglo-Italian team. Motorsport.com has learned Racing Bulls' other deputy tech director Guillaume Cattelani, who was responsible for car performance while Landi headed up design, is also leaving the squad. In their stead, Fallows has now taken up his position as overall technical director, reporting into chief technical officer Tim Goss.
Fallows' arrival from Aston Martin was announced in January, with the former Red Bull tech director having now completed his gardening leave period and starting work with his new employer this week.
Speaking about Fallows' impending arrival at the team, Racing Bulls team boss Alan Permane said: "Dan has a wealth of experience, and his technical understanding and leadership will be a real asset to the team as we continue to develop and push forward competitively. We’re delighted to welcome him to VCARB."
Red Bull said its combination of promoting Waterhouse and snapping up Landi reflected its "continued focus on developing internal talent while attracting leading expertise from across the sport".
The team had been making more headlines on outgoing than incoming transfers in recent months, with news emerging last week that Max Verstappen's long-time race engineer Gianpiero Lambiase is set to join rival McLaren from 2028 onwards. Most recently, former Red Bull strategy chief Will Courtenay took up his new role at McLaren as sporting director.
Red Bull endured a tough start to the 2026 season, struggling with fundamental issues to its RB22 car that has made it difficult to set up. The team currently lies in sixth place in the constructors' standings after three grand prix weekends, scoring just 16 points with a best result of sixth for Verstappen in Australia's season opener.
Racing Bulls has made a solid start to 2026 in the thick of F1's midfield, scoring points on every weekend so far to occupy seventh, just two points behind its parent team.
