Paul Monaghan, the Chief Engineer of Red Bull Racing, is celebrating his new contract with the team. Red Bull is determined to prevent any further departures from its successful Formula 1 team, especially after the announcement that renowned designer Adrian Newey will be leaving in 2025. The team wants to maintain the core group of individuals who have achieved numerous record-breaking milestones since the introduction of ground effect cars in 2022. Red Bull has already secured the future of Pierre Wache as Technical Director, despite interest from Ferrari, and other key personnel have also signed extended deals. Enrico Balbo will continue as Head of Aerodynamics, and Ben Waterhouse will remain as Head of Performance Engineering. Autosport has reported that Monaghan is the latest prominent figure in Red Bull’s team to commit to a long-term extension. Monaghan has been with the team since Red Bull’s entry into F1 in 2005 and has played a crucial role in their seven Drivers’ and six Constructors’ title victories. Red Bull’s focus on renewing the contracts of key engineers and trackside staff is in response to Newey’s impending departure and the upcoming regulatory changes in 2026. Despite these challenges, both Wache and Red Bull boss Christian Horner are confident that the team is well-equipped to continue its success. They emphasize that the team’s achievements are the result of collective effort and teamwork, rather than the work of one individual. Red Bull’s next priority is to retain Sporting Director Jonathan Wheatley, who has been linked to other potential opportunities.
